About Hérémence
Hérémence sits at about 1,237 metres where the Borgne and the Dixence meet, and the municipality takes in the entire Dixence valley, with the Grande Dixence dam at its head. The village is on the Inventory of Swiss Heritage Sites, first recorded in 1195, and its centre is an odd mix: old wooden buildings beside Walter Förderer's brutalist concrete church, its foundation stone laid in 1968. The homes sit close together in one part of the village and are large, mostly with four bedrooms, a garden and a sauna. The municipality also takes in hamlets such as Euseigne, Mâche and Pralong. The cheese dairy offers tours and tastings, and evenings are quiet.
