To go
By car
Evolène is located in the Val d'Hérens. Access to the valley is from Sion (Sion-est motorway exit). Follow the blue or white road signs Vex - Evolène - Arolla.
Be careful, we are driving on a mountain road, some passages are a bit short if we cross the post bus.
On the road, we will find “the pyramids of Euseigne”, a geological formation worn down by the centuries. There is a parking space where you can stop, because it is dangerous and forbidden to stop at the side of the road. For this trip, it takes a good half an hour.
Once in the village, the best thing is to cross by the top road and put the car in the large square near the cemetery.
Public transport
From Sion central station, there are eight buses every day, they take around 45 min to make the trip.
Circulate
The village has only one street open to traffic; this street is one way (uphill) for private cars.
The traffic for the top of the valley (Les Haudères, La Sage, Ferpècle, Arolla) as well as for the postbuses is diverted by a road outside the historic village.
