The Arael in Riddes is 49,000 square meters and is located in the Les Morands industrial park.

According to Ikea Switzerland, it will take around two years of preparation and planning before construction work can begin. The construction period is estimated at around twelve months. The opening would therefore be in 2021.

Ikea Switzerland plans to unveil the project in spring 2018 together with the construction and real estate company Christian Constantin SA.
