The 2022-2023 exhibition "Anniviers at the turn of the 20th century" tells the captivating story of the beginnings of summer tourism in the valley and its impact on the lives of the local people.
Historians agree that tourism began in Anniviers in the middle of the 19th century, when two guides realised very early on that it was necessary to create accommodation for the foreigners who came to discover the formidable mountainous cirque that the Val d'Anniviers offered.
This new influx of travellers was to have repercussions on the lives of the inhabitants of our Anniviers villages, gradually overturning the ancestral customs and habits of this nomadic society, which for centuries had lived under the banner of routine.
The VissoiArt Association invites you to discover the fascinating story of the birth of summer tourism in the Val d'Anniviers and the repercussions of this new fashion on the lives of these mountain dwellers in its new exhibition, on the Chemin d'Images, during the years 2022/2023.
