Lalden

Lalden is located in the agglomeration between Visp and Brig and offers excellent connections to regional and international transport hubs. As a location for the DSM AG, Messer Schweiz AG and Lonza AG industrial facilities, Lalden bears a great deal of economic responsibility within the region.

The municipality has developed strongly in recent decades thanks to the implementation of targeted large-scale projects; it is now home to 670 residents. At the end of 2019, the village centre project was inaugurated with a new municipal office and Bistro 1218. The bistro offers a small village shop with fresh produce, a lunch table and a garden terrace to while away the time.

The municipality has a kindergarten and a primary school. The active and motivated school administration provides high-quality education and ensures a successful transition to the orientation school in Visp.

The local clubs are the backbone of social cohesion in the area. In both the sporting and cultural domains, the municipality boasts very well-managed clubs whose activities are also recognised and valued at a regional level.

Lalden is a municipality with a rich past and a bright future.
