Situation
The idyllic hamlet of Itravers is situated on a sunny terrace at an elevation of about 950 meters above sea level and is part of the charming municipality of Grône. Far from mass tourism, the residents here enjoy a rare oasis of tranquility, a protected, unspoiled natural environment, and a village community where traditions are still very much alive. Itravers is famous above all for its privileged location as the direct “gateway” to the Vallon de Réchy—one of the last completely untouched and unspoiled side valleys in the Valais, which is a protected nature reserve.
Here, you’ll enjoy a magnificent natural backdrop. Two first-class ski resorts with no wait times are practically right on your doorstep. The chalet is easily accessible year-round and just a 10-minute drive from the Rhône Valley (Grône).
Municipality
The municipality of Grône offers an exceptionally high quality of life and first-class infrastructure that goes far beyond what is typically available. Families and young people have access to their own sports-focused secondary school. Medical care is well covered by local doctors and a pharmacy. A well-stocked grocery store meets daily needs right in the community.
Grône also offers remarkable recreational opportunities: An indoor pool ensures swimming fun regardless of the weather, while in summer, two beautiful recreational and swimming lakes invite you to enjoy relaxing hours. Sports enthusiasts also benefit from direct access to the golf course.
While you enjoy absolute tranquility and spectacular views in the heights of Itravers, you can reach the lively village center of Grône in the valley in just a few minutes. Itravers thus offers the perfect balance between an alpine retreat and modern comforts. From here, you can reach Sierre and the capital, Sion, in less than a 10-minute drive.
Shops/stores
The village of Gròne, as well as the neighboring village of Nax—which is easily accessible from Itrafer—has an Edelweiss grocery store that meets all basic needs. Denner is located nearby, as are the shopping centers in the cities of Sierre and Sion.
Public transport
Thanks to excellent transportation links, you can reach the cities of Sion and Sierre, as well as the A9 highway, in just a few minutes by car. The community is also well-connected by public transportation: Regular bus service takes you directly to the train stations in Sion and Sierre.
- Easy access: From the Rhône Valley (Grône), you can reach the chalet in Itravers via a well-maintained road that is passable year-round in just about 10 minutes.
- Central location in Central Valais: The two major economic centers and main towns of Central Valais, Sion (Sitten) and Sierre (Siders), are only about 10 to 15 minutes by car from Grône.
- Highway access: The entrance to the A9 highway (Sion-Est or Sierre-Ouest) is just a few minutes away. This provides a quick connection to the Lake Geneva region or toward Upper Valais (Brig/Simplon).
By public transportation (PT)
- Regional bus routes (PostBus): Grône is perfectly connected via the regular regional bus route (e.g., Route 411 / Sierre–Chalais–Grône–Sion) with a fixed-interval schedule.
- Direct connection to the train stations: The buses take you directly and comfortably to the major SBB train stations in Sion and Sierre. From there, you can connect to long-distance trains (InterRegio and EuroCity) heading toward Visp/Brig/Milan or Lausanne/Geneva/Bern.
Connections to the ski resorts
- The ski resorts Vercorin and Nax (Mont-Noble) can be reached in no time (approx. 10–15 minutes) by car or via regional connections, making the chalet an ideal base for winter sports.
