The country where the cows are Queens!!!

Our glorious alpine cows!

In our Alps, we have a exceptionnal breed of cow : la race d'Herens. These cows naturally fight in order to establish a hierarchy within the herd. These natural fights take place without any provocation. In springtime when the animals are released from their winter barns and during the journey up to the alpine pastures, they challenge each other to see who will be their leader.

Tripack @ Franz Joseph Glacier NZ

Enjoy your trip & explore the Blue Planet


Hi ! My VT name is Tripack (simply the anagram of real name Patrick;-), I live in the Swiss Alpine region, a sunny and snowy paradise named Valais. My native language is French, but I (try to) speak in English, German, Italian, Spanish to extend my culture field and met people all over our planet. Yes, one of my passion is to travel physically or virtually thanks to your VT pages ;-) I concentrate my Swiss tips on my region in order to guide you in one of the most beautiful part of Switzerland:
THE ALPS


I often read on Swiss VT pages that my country is expensive. For this reason I try to focus on good value tips to help you to save your money and more enjoying the Swiss experience. So VT deals is a brillant idea and a great tool to save money for your next adventure (regularly update).
