View of Val d'Anniviers from Sierre to Zinal
10.00 CHF
Philippe Lorin reveals the Anniviers region, its landscapes and villages, through magnificent watercolours and poetic descriptions.
"As soon as you leave the Rhône valley, the road rises up, winding through gorges where torrents roar down from the distant peaks that can be seen between the larches and firs. Meter by meter, the road, carved into the mountainside, quietly guides the traveller over the mountain pastures towards the summits... The rock defends itself. The road tortures it, gouges it, engulfs it, finally subduing it. The air becomes purer. The first mountain chalets appear on the slopes. The slopes soften, the road widens. Finally, the sun rises... Bathing the slopes in multicoloured light, it shows us the Val d'Anniviers in all its splendour." Philippe Lorin
