"Anniviers at the turn of the 20th century  

Historians agree that tourism in Anniviers began in the middle of the 19th century, when two guides understood very early on the need to create accommodation for foreigners who came to discover this formidable mountainous cirque that the Val d'Anniviers offered to their eyes.
This new influx of travellers was to have repercussions on the lives of the inhabitants of our Anniviers villages, gradually upsetting the ancestral customs and habits of this nomadic society which, for centuries, had lived under the sign 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.
