Valais is a bilingual Alpine canton: the French-speaking Lower and Central Valais around Sion, Martigny and Monthey, and the German-speaking Upper Valais around Brig and Visp. The canton is divided into two premium regions. Inpatient care is bundled in the Valais Hospital network with sites in both language regions — with savings models, it is worth checking whether network practices are represented in your valley.

How many premium regions does the canton of Valais have?▼
Valais is divided into two premium regions; allocation is based on your municipality of residence. The same insurer with the same model can therefore cost a different amount depending on the municipality — when comparing, make sure your municipality is recorded correctly.
I have a holiday flat in Valais — which premium applies to me?▼
What counts is your legal main residence, not the holiday flat. Premiums are calculated according to the premium region of your municipality of residence; a second home in a tourist resort such as Zermatt or Verbier changes nothing. Only with an official relocation of your residence to Valais do you move into its premium region.
Until when can I switch health insurer in Valais?▼
Your cancellation of basic insurance must reach your current insurer by 30 November; the switch takes effect on 1 January. The insurance year ends on 31 December. Basic insurance benefits are identical in both language regions of Valais — comparing pays off every year.
