Place Maurice-Zermatten

At the foot of the Tourbillon and Valère hills, this beautiful square is home to an open-air cinema and a refreshment bar during the summer months. It bears the name of a famous twentieth-century writer from the Valais who wrote in a wide range of literary genres (novels,, short stories, plays, essays and biographies). Our panorama here is oriented towards the ruins of Tourbillon Castle, perched on a rocky outcrop. Our virtual stroll doesn't take you there, but it does go up to the Basilica of Valère, on the right.
