Neighborhood highlights

Eison la Crettaz is a small, authentic Valais village in the parish of St. Martin in the quite, wild, gentile tourist Val d’Hérens.
The valley has 4 skiing areas and cross-country skiing (both about 30 minutes driving distance of the barn), 85 km of snowshoe trails and many other winter activities.
In the summer you can go hiking, cycling, mountaineering, rock climbing, paragliding etc. and if you are lucky you can even see an Eringer cow fight.

Where I went to school: Haute-Nendaz
Switzerland and Valais at heart! I love the mountains, snowboarding, mountain walks in summer and winter (snowshoeing). I gladly taste Valais wines like Petite Arvine or Cornalin. I'm passionate about old buildings ( old chalet, barn, hook, mazot, mayen, old farmhouse etc.)... Since the end of April 2014 we have rented our barn. I love backpacking … I've traveled a lot in Asia, New Zealand and I especially love Indonesia. Married, 2 children.
