With over seventy varieties listed, apricots, which can be enjoyed from June to September, are a true regional ambassador.

The Valais currently supplies 98% of Swiss production. Nendaz is one of the two main producing areas. Orchards are concentrated around the villages of Bieudron, Fey, Cor and Baar. The Printse valley, with its harsh winters and hot summers, is ideal for growing apricots. Watered by a network of ancient irrigation channels, our orchards are ideal for producing the ripest and juiciest fruit.

Apricots can be used in many forms: tarts, jams, juices, sorbets, liqueurs or even schnapps. The Abricotine AOC, a 44° schnapps served very cold, is a favourite in our region. Those who appreciate something sweeter will prefer the apricot liqueur.

Do not hesitate and taste our apricots during your next summer visit !
