Hamlet Egga (Bellwald)

The hamlets are typical for the clustered settlements of the Valais, where several houses, commercial buildings and mostly a chapel are concentrated. The hamlet «Egga» is the most original hamlet preserved in Bellwald. In a very small area four residential buildings can be found, with associated storehouses, stable barns and hay barns and the chapel “Mary Coronation”. From the number of buildings can be concluded that they belonged to four families who lived in the hamlet «Egga». Today most buildings in the hamlet Egga are converted and used as holiday flats.
