VALAIS
(French speaking region) Anzère has open snowfields, facing south and overlooking the Rhone River that flows through the Valais region. Strict construction planning even gives tiered hotels a chalet look. Anzere is near the much larger resort of Crans Montana and the capital city of Sion, which has medieval castles and a Roman heritage.
