Simplon, Great St. Bernard and Forclaz: the Martigny region is the gateway to the south. Which is no doubt where the relaxed little town’s appreciation of the good things in life comes from.

Of course, gastronomic delicacies play a leading role, along with the wine made here. But between meals one needs nourishment of another kind. Hence the outstanding museums that have appeared in Martigny, such as the modern Fondation Pierre Gianadda, which brings to life the region’s Roman past – but also exhibits everything from vintage cars to world-class art. Or the museum devoted to the cuddly St. Bernard dogs with the brandy barrel around their neck. Many other attractions beckon too: not least the winegrowing trail to Leuk, dinosaur footprints in Emosson and two thermal baths.
