Informations Valpic – NEWSLETTER nr 12 – April 2026
1- “World Championship 2027: What’s next?
Will the sums involved be purely prestige expenses or an investment that will pay for itself?
We’ll have the answers on Saturday Valpic 12 on April 11 at the CC Le Régent with Bruno Hugler, Director of Crans-Montana Tourisme et Congrès (the tourist office), who will talk about the post-World Championship program and how to optimize its economic impact. He will answer questions from our 2 interviewers, live, for you, as well as your questions (“TV set” format). An aperitif will follow the conference.
Registration is now open at https://valpic.ch/agenda/
2- REMINDER: Survey of primary and secondary residences (HES-SO Valais-Wallis)
Reply deadline April 12 (for latecomers)
Your Valpic Committee took part in the genesis of this survey launched by the HES-SO – Institut du Tourisme. Please respond to the questionnaire (link below). The results will be presented at the Valpic Saturday on August 8.
In a mountain society undergoing transformation, and given the diversity of issues linked to the territory, this survey seeks to understand how people living in primary and secondary residences live together.
The questionnaire is aimed at people residing in the Valais, either as main residents – i.e. those who live permanently in the commune and have deposited their papers there – or as secondary residents –i.e. those who come here for leisure or vacations and live elsewhere (in the Valais, in another Swiss canton or abroad).
The questionnaire is anonymous. There are no right or wrong answers. What we are interested in is your opinion and feedback.
Completing this questionnaire will take about 15 minutes.
