Erika, 26, from Gressoney La Trinite, wearing the typical Walser dress. The Walser are German-speaking people (more specifically, they speak Walser German dialects) who live in the Alps of Switzerland, Italy, Liechtenstein and Austria. The Walser people are named after the Wallis (Valais), the uppermost Rh?ne Rivervalley. Prior, they are believed to have lived in southwest Germany. The Walser settled the upper part of the Wallis about 1000 years ago, coming from the Bernese Oberland. Because of linguistic differences among the Walser dialects, it is supposed that there were two independent immigration routes. From the upper Wallis, they began to spread south, west and east between the 12th and 13th centuries, which is known as the Walser migrations. The main characteristics of Walser settlements are the Walser German dialects. It is also typical that they are located at a very high altitude in remote valleys that had not been settled before. The Mountain Community of the Walser in Valle d'Aosta is located in the upper valley of the Lys river and is made of the towns of Issime (953 m above sea level), Gressoney-Saint-Jean (1385m asl) and Gressoney-La-Trinite (1637 m asl). Issime and Gressoney represent a small area with three languages (Italian, French and German) in Valle d'Aosta, a region that is already bilingual (Italian, French).
