Mase: Rent a Holiday Apartment in Valais

Rent a Holiday Apartment in Mase: A Village Landscape as a Travel Decision

If you would like to rent a holiday apartment in Mase, planning begins with a specific question: Should the village itself be part of the holiday experience? Mase is situated at an altitude of 1,345 metres on the slope above the Borgne in Val d’Hérens. Historic farmhouses are part of the village landscape and give the choice of accommodation a clear point of reference.

Key Facts about Mase

• Mase is located in the canton of Valais in Switzerland and historically belonged to the Hérens district.
• Since 2011, the former municipality of Mase has been part of the newly formed municipality of Mont-Noble.

Culture and Travel Period

Those looking for a specific village experience can consider planning a stay around the “Nuit du Conte”, which takes place in mid-July. At this cultural event, storytellers perform in the village; this is followed by a social gathering with wine, soup and pastries or dessert. This makes it possible to align the travel period with a local experience without basing the stay on general seasonal promises.

Historical Destinations in the Surrounding Area

For a historically oriented exploration, you can consider Sevanne and Marguerona near Mase or in the broader Val d’Hérens context. Neither is part of the village of Mase; instead, they are classified as destinations outside the village in this nearer or broader context. This keeps the decision to choose Mase clearly separate from additional discoveries in the surrounding area.

Which Accommodation Suits the Choice of Village?

When looking for accommodation, you can compare holiday apartments, holiday homes and hotels. A holiday apartment or holiday home in Mase should primarily be shortlisted if the historic character of the village itself is intended to be part of the stay. If the “Nuit du Conte” determines the travel plans, focus your search on a stay around mid-July.

Mase thus combines a clearly described historic village landscape with a specifically named cultural event.

Further Orientation

For broader orientation, you can also look at Ering. Other village pages to compare are Ayent, Saint-Martin Vs, Evolène, Evolène and Les Masses.
