Experiences in Martigny

Drive over one of the most historic Valais Alpine passes: On the Grosser St. Bernhard, you will visit the almost 1000-year-old hospice, meet St. Bernard dogs and hike through the alpine landscape on the border with Italy.

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

In Martigny in Valais, the Fondation Pierre Gianadda combines world art with a Gallo-Roman museum, a collection of vintage cars and one of the most beautiful sculpture parks in Europe. The exhibitions change several times a year.

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.
