Every year, Visp hosts four different annual markets throughout the year, which offer a wide range of products. During the ram market, the traditional ram show also takes place at the Sepp-Blatter-Schulhaus, where visitors can marvel at the magnificent animals. The weekly Pürumärt on the Kaufplatz in Visp invites you to buy regional products and spend time with friends.
On Friday, April 30, 1999, the Visper Pürumärt took place for the first time as one of the first "products" of Visper's local marketing. The Pürumärt has since developed into a permanent Visper event known throughout the Upper Valais and, in addition to being an attractive platform for the sale of local products, has also become a popular Friday evening meeting place for young and old. Since the opening of the NEAT, more and more German-speaking Swiss people can be found at the market.
Interest in the Pürumärt has not waned on the part of suppliers either. In recent years, new stands have been added and the product range has been expanded. The direct sale of products guarantees a high level of quality and makes it possible to really experience the "freshness from the farm". At many stands, customers can find products that are not available in the stores.
In recent years, the Visper Pürmärt has also proved to be an ideal platform for groups, clubs, parties and other organizations to present themselves. Many music groups have also found an attractive opportunity to perform at the Pürumärt to entertain a large audience or to promote their own cause.
