GEMEINDE BELLWALD

Information on the Unnergoms municipal merger

In June 2024, the municipal councils of Fiesch, Lax and Bellwald commissioned a merger study to clarify the potential, opportunities and risks of a municipal merger.

After intensive discussions in numerous meetings and workshops and on the basis of the merger report, the three municipal councils approved a merger to form the municipality of Unnergoms in April 2025 and recommended that the population accept the merger.

The population of Fiesch, Lax and Bellwald will vote on the merger in a referendum on 15 June 2025. This should come into force on 1 January 2027.

Information events will be organised for the population in all three municipalities:

Lax:               Tuesday, 6 May 2025, 7.00 pm, gymnasium
Bellwald:     Wednesday, 7 May 2025, 7.00 pm, multi-purpose hall
Fiesch:          Thursday, 8 May 2025, 7.00 pm, Rondo hall

You will find further answers to your questions in the information brochure that was distributed to all households in the three municipalities. The detailed merger report and the information brochure can be viewed online on this page.

The merger report can also be obtained on request from the municipal administrations of Fiesch, Lax and Bellwald.
