The Rock Church is one of Europe's youngest and most impressive examples of millennia-old rock architecture. The church interior in the castle hill was artificially carved out of the rock. With 500 seats, St. Michael's Church is the largest modern place of worship located entirely inside a rock. This architectural feat is unique, especially as beauty and functionality, nature and culture, tradition and modernity are harmoniously combined here. The successful fusion of the old and new church contributes significantly to the interesting village scenery.

West of Visp station, the Vispa flows into the Rhône, which in German-speaking Upper Valais is traditionally called the Rotten. The approximately 8.5-kilometer-long Vispa is formed in Stalden by the confluence of the Mattervispa from the Mattertal valley and the Saaservispa from the Saas valley. Both tributaries carry milky-turquoise water from the glacier-covered high mountain regions around Zermatt and Saas-Fee. After its short course through the Vispertal valley, the Vispa finally joins the significantly wider Rotten. From here, the water continues its journey through the Valais and Lake Geneva, before the Rhône flows on through France to the Mediterranean Sea. The confluence is also a beautiful viewpoint and a fitting place to say goodbye to the Valais once more after a hike through the mountain world around Zermatt. It impressively shows how the water from the Valais Alps shapes the valleys and landscapes far beyond the high mountains.

At the bottom of the Rhone Valley, while the river is still called Rotten here, a small pond reinforces the rural character of the place. This is the Baggilla, a pleasant place to rest after having faced the steep slopes of the surrounding mountains.
