Visp (Viege in French) is a key hub of the Upper Valais, at the confluence of the Vispa and the Rhone.

Frequently asked questions
Which plants can withstand Visp’s harsh winters?
Hardy conifers, deciduous shrubs (spiraea, dogwood, viburnum) and alpine perennials are well suited to Visp’s climate. For hedges, hornbeam, beech and yew resist the cold well. Our gardeners recommend proven species for the Upper Valais hardiness zone.
Is irrigation as important in Visp as in Sion?
Yes, Visp is one of the driest towns in Switzerland with annual rainfall below 600 mm. An automatic irrigation system is strongly advised to maintain a green garden, especially in July and August. Mulching also significantly reduces evaporation.

Can you create a Mediterranean-style garden in Visp?
Visp’s exceptional sunshine allows certain Mediterranean plants in sheltered, south-facing positions: lavender, rosemary, sage and ornamental grasses. However, since winters are harsher than in Sion, our gardeners select only the hardiest varieties and provide winter protection where necessary.
