Rue de Ehala (5)

The name "Ehala", with its unusual sound, simply means "vine" in Sierre, according to research by Henry Suter (1942-2014), author of the "Dico romand". It comes from the Gallo-Romance word escala, meaning ladder, staircase or steep passageway, a term that evokes perfectly the Valais vineyards.
