Val d'Hérens

Val d'Hérens is an alpine valley in the canton of Valais, Switzerland, formed by the Hérens glacier as it retreated at the end of the last ice age. It is now the valley of the Borgne river, a tributary of the Rhone that meets the main river above Sion. The valley extends from the Rhone valley up toward a cluster of high peaks, including Dent Blanche at 4,357 meters and Dent d'Hérens at 4,171 meters, and is a popular starting point for mountain expeditions. Above the village of Les Haudères, the valley divides into the valley of the Borgne de Ferpècle to the east and the Borgne d'Arolla to the west.
