A piece of Valaisian building culture with great potential: on a base of natural stone, a block construction made of sun-burned larch wood rises, protected by a new stone slab roof. The barn is a typical witness to rural life in the Rarnerchumma and preserves its original character down to the last detail, from the massive corner connections to the old wooden doors.

The new roof already protects the building substance today and forms the ideal basis for a new use. The barn is located in the building zone and can be converted into a residential barn under observance of the building regulations. This creates a charming retreat, a holiday home, or a studio with a view of the Rhone Valley, in the middle of one of the most beautiful historic hamlets of Upper Valais.

A rare opportunity for lovers of authentic Valaisian architecture who want to create something of their own with a sense of tradition.

The barn stands on the southern edge of the Rarnerchumma, a hamlet high above Raron at around 900 m above sea level, which is one of the sites of national importance. Surrounded by traditional Valaisian houses, dry stone walls, and gardens, it lies directly on a footpath and enjoys an unobstructed view over the Rhone Valley to the peaks of the opposite valley side. The location is sunny and quiet, and the access road to the hamlet is also cleared in winter.

Raron is a lively village in Upper Valais with a lot of history. Above the village center, the castle and church tower, where Rainer Maria Rilke also found his final resting place.

Shopping facilities, schools, and restaurants cover everyday life. Visp with workplaces and a railway junction can be reached in around ten minutes by car, and since the end of 2025, Raron has been directly connected to the A9.
