Martigny at a glance

This is Martigny

Martigny is known for its Roman history, major art exhibitions and St. Bernard dogs. The small town lies on the River Rhône in the French-speaking part of the canton of Valais, near the borders with France and Italy.

Discover Martigny

On a rock at the edge of town stands the Château de la Bâtiaz, with its round 13th-century tower. Up to 5,000 people once watched violent games in the Roman amphitheatre. Today, Hérens cows compete here for the title of queen during the Foire du Valais, and an open-air cinema operates in summer. Relax at a café on Place Centrale, in the shade of old trees.

Art and classic cars at the Fondation Pierre Gianadda

The Fondation presents changing exhibitions, including works by artists such as Picasso, Van Gogh and Chagall. On the ground floor, the Gallo-Roman Museum displays the remains of a temple. In the automobile museum in the basement, discover historic cars that are still in working order, including rare Swiss-made models. In the park, stroll among sculptures by Niki de Saint Phalle, Miró and Rodin.

St. Bernard dogs at Barryland

At the Barryland theme park, meet the St. Bernard dogs from the Great St. Bernard Pass. The building is shaped like a dog's paw and surrounded by large enclosures. Watch Switzerland's national dogs playing and see how they are cared for. An exhibition tells the story of Barry, who, according to legend, rescued around 40 people from the snow.

Around Martigny

Take the Mont-Blanc Express through the Trient Valley to Chamonix in France. Along the way, it is worth stopping at the Gorges du Trient in Vernayaz. In summer, take one of the world's steepest funiculars from Le Châtelard-Village to the Emosson reservoir. In Plan-Cerisier, hike through vineyards dotted with small winegrowers' houses known as mazots. In winter, you can quickly reach ski resorts such as Verbier or Ovronnaz.
