The old Visp developed in the hilly zone because until about 150 years ago there were constant floods in the valley floor. The Rhone and the Vispa were corrected, expanded, and channelized. This made the entire area free for development. Another reason why people built on the hill was the military pressure on the Upper Valais. On a hill with ring walls, one could defend oneself better. Several conflagrations in the 13th and 14th centuries and the great conflagration of 1518 destroyed almost all of Visp. Thus, only individual houses built before 1518 can still be found.

Charming village. A lovely loop from Visp via Bürchen, Eischoll to Turtmann, and then along the Rhone on the side road via Gampel / Steg back to Visp.
