Here, history was written – by brave pioneers who first climbed the majestic peaks of the Valais Alps and thus laid the foundation for a long tradition. The Heimat- and Bergführermuseum – lived mountain history In order to do justice to this significant past, the Heimat- and Bergführermuseum St. Niklaus was created in the historic Meierturm, the oldest building in the Mattertal. In its lovingly designed exhibitions, the eventful history of the mountain guides comes alive. Visitors dive into exciting stories of daring first ascents, ancient equipment, and the lives of people who have dedicated their hearts to the mountains. The quartz of St. Niklaus – a piece of natural history Another pride of the village is the famous St. Niklaus quartz, a high-quality natural stone of unmistakable color and hardness. Until 2005, it was mined here commercially and still characterizes numerous buildings in the region today. The stone stands symbolically for the strength and durability that characterizes life in the Alps. Family-friendly vacation – between Grächen and the Alpe Jungen St. Niklaus is part of the child-friendly holiday region Grächen, which delights in winter with a snow-sure ski area and around 44 kilometers of pistes. In summer, the popular Suonen hikes along old waterways invite you to unforgettable nature experiences – ideal for families, connoisseurs, and hiking enthusiasts.

High above the valley, a dreamlike panoramic view of the Mattertal opens up – a place where peace, nature, and originality meet in perfect harmony.
