The harmony between Nendaz and the Alphorn


A strong link between friends


A real love story unites Nendaz with the alphorn. This Alpine instrument has been an integral part of our region for a very long time.


A family history


Aimé Devènes, passionate about music and a brass band director for 25 years, began blowing down an alphorn with great joy. Soon he began to share this passion with the other members of his family. At present two of his children and two of his grand-children have become part of the troop, as well as many of his friends.
