Public Transport

Easily reachable by train and bus. From Geneva or Zurich airports, take a train to Sion. From Sion train station, a direct postal bus goes to 'Les Haudères Centre', stopping right in front of the coliving.

Car Considerations

A car is not necessary for daily life but offers flexibility for exploring. The drive from Sion takes about 35 minutes. Free parking is available at the coliving.

Walkability

The village is small and very walkable. A small supermarket is within walking distance. The coliving is also connected to a public coworking space (TRAVA) just 150 meters away.

Key Distances

The bus stop is at the doorstep. Hiking, skiing, and climbing trails begin directly from the house. The nearest major town with full services is Sion, approximately a 35-minute drive or a bus ride away.

Challenges & Tips

The location is at 1500m altitude in a remote valley. While public transport is efficient, services may be less frequent than in cities. Planning ahead for grocery trips is recommended, though communal dinners reduce the need for daily shopping.
