Locksmith in the canton of Valais
Valais follows the course of the Rhône, from the Rhône Glacier in the Goms valley down to Lake Geneva. It is a bilingual canton, French-speaking in its central and lower parts and German-speaking in Upper Valais. On both sides of the plain, side valleys such as the Val d'Anniviers, the Val d'Hérens, the Val de Bagnes and the Saas valley climb towards villages and high-altitude resorts. In season these resorts welcome many visitors, and holiday flats often change occupants from one week to the next.
Our technicians are stationed in various parts of the canton and answer 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In the plain and in the towns they usually arrive within 20 to 30 minutes. For a resort or a village at the end of a valley the journey is longer, and we give you a realistic arrival time on the phone. On site, we check your entitlement and state the price before starting. You can pay in cash, by card, with TWINT or on invoice.
Doors and locks in the canton of Valais
In the Rhône plain, from Monthey to Brig, rented blocks and residential estates have grown considerably in recent decades, with modern flat doors and multi-point locks. The old hillside villages keep stone and timber houses whose old doors have often been refitted step by step. Resorts are dominated by chalets and buildings full of second homes, where keys pass from one guest to the next and key boxes are sometimes used. Some isolated mayens, the traditional mountain huts, can only be reached on foot or on skis in winter. Before opening, the technician identifies the door and cylinder and then states the price.

One valley, two languages
Valais follows the Rhône from the Goms valley down to Lake Geneva. Between Sierre and Leuk, near the Pfyn forest, runs the language border: German is spoken in Upper Valais, French in Central and Lower Valais. Sion is the capital, Martigny lies at the bend of the Rhône and Monthey in the Chablais.
Numerous side valleys branch off the plain, such as the Val d'Anniviers, the Val de Bagnes, the Saas valley and the Matter valley leading to Zermatt. Resorts like Verbier, Crans-Montana, Zermatt and Saas-Fee are known far beyond Switzerland.
Blocks of flats, old villages and chalets
In the plain there are many newer rented blocks and houses with modern locks. In the old villages you find stone and timber houses and traditional raised barns, whose doors need careful handling.
Resorts are dominated by chalets and apartment buildings. Guests change frequently, keys are handed over through agencies or key boxes, and lockouts are most common in high season.
Passes, snow and high season
Valais is linked to Bern and Italy by the Lötschberg tunnel, the Simplon and the Great St Bernard. Passes such as the Furka, Grimsel and Nufenen are closed in winter, and snow or avalanche danger can temporarily close roads into the side valleys.
On winter weekends, traffic to the resorts is heavy. We take this into account and tell you honestly when the technician can arrive.
