Experiences in Vallée du Trient

The Alpine zoo is discovered at an altitude of 1,100 meters surrounded by woods, where the majority of alpine-dwelling animals can be observed in their natural habitat. Adjacent to the zoo visitors discover an outdoor alpine pool, nestled in the natural rocky landscape. Parking, Restaurant-Pizzeria and picnic area are also at your convenience.

VerticAlp Emosson, these are 3 historic mountain railways that take you to the second largest reservoir in Switzerland. Around the lake, hiking trails await you with views of Mont Blanc and 250-million-year-old dinosaur tracks.

A circular trail leads from Tête-Noire to the tantalisingly named Gorges Mystérieuses – mysterious gorges.

This augmented-reality digital game is a new attraction offered by TéléMarécottes. You can play it on your smartphone or tablet while exploring the area around La Creusaz on foot!

Fondation Gianadda in Martigny is an internationally renowned cultural foundation with multi-faceted aspects. The museum offerings range from archaeological exhibits, a vintage car and sculpture park to art collections and concerts.

There is quite a contrast between the southern village of Martigny at the elbow of the Rhone and the wilderness of Durnand Gorge, or the Gorges du Durnand as it is called in French.

The Trient Gorge was carved out of the Mont Blanc massif by the wild river of the same name. The 200-metre deep gorge is a paradise for both climbers and botanists.

Distillerie Morand is a family business established in Martigny in 1889. It is renowned for its excellent syrups and spirits, including the famous Williamine. Guided tours of the distillery are available.

Breathtaking thrills await on the Emosson zip line, with its stunning panorama of the iconic Mont Blanc mountain range and the Emosson dam, the third highest dam in Switzerland!

The Alpine pass and the legendary Great St. Bernard Hospice symbolise the hospitality shown by the monks to travellers over the centuries. Barry, the large and good-natured St. Bernard dog, is famous for saving the lives of lost mountaineers – this four-legged hero has always been bred here.

As visitors enter the Valais, they are greeted by impressive mountain cliffs and a waterfall that is, unfortunately, smaller than it used to be.

Opened in spring 2007, the wine trail is an ideal way to discover the Valais and birthplace of some delightfully palatable regional wines.
