Vercorin
Vercorin is a ski resort in the Valais, Switzerland, reached from Chalais by a gondola lift and served by the Vercorin–Sigeroulaz–Crêt du Midi cable car up to 2,336 m. The ski area above the village offers blue and red runs, a beginners' area at Lavioz with mini-slides, mats and ropes, plus mountain restaurants at Crêt-du-Midi and Sigeroulaz. Multi-day passes also cover the neighbouring resorts of St-Luc/Chandolin and Grimentz-Zinal.
