Naters is a municipality in the district of Brig in the canton of Valais in Switzerland, on the right bank of the Rhone river across from Brig. It is first mentioned in 1018 as Nares. On 1 January 2013 the former municipalities of Birgisch and Mund merged into Naters, which also includes the villages of Hegdorn, Geimen, Mehlbaum, Rischinen and Blatten bei Naters and the mountain village and ski resort of Belalp. The municipality covers about 101 square kilometres on the gently sloping alluvial ground around the Kelchbach and the whole of the Natischer mountain, and nearly three quarters of that area is unproductive land.
