Final walk in Valais. Brig, Naters and Visp are the southernmost towns in the closed German-speaking area. Only the "tourist villages" of Zermatt and Saas-Fee are a little further south.

The historical downtown area is small and well-kept. Noteworthy are the Stockalper Castle and the Stockalper Park.
