Transcript of Martigny Région - d29gqb72f8tdiw.cloudfront.net market (in even number years) ... Walking tour in...
Nestled in the Rhone river elbow, among vineyards and orchards, Martigny is the most dynamic town in the Valais. Visitors can discover in particular the Pierre Gianadda Foundation and its prestigious exhibitions, the Morand Dis-tillery and its renowned Williamine ©, Barryland, the museum dedicated to the legendary St. Bernard Dogs, and also the large Valais Fair, with its 200,000 annual visitors.
At the crossroads between France and Italy, and at the heart of the French Valaisian Alps, the region of Martigny will welcome and surprise you with its cultural wealth, mild climate and a wide variety of activities along the entire year : the Saint-Maurice Abbey treasure, the thermal baths of Saillon, Ovronnaz or Lavey, the ski tracks of the Marécottes and Ovronnaz, the Verticalp Emosson, the Marécottes zoo and the Trient Bisse are some of the essential attractions of the area.
An unforgettable stay awaits you in Martigny

Martigny-la-romaine (Roman Martigny) has preserved its archaeological remains, while the town of Saint Maurice ex-hibits the Abbey’s Treasure. There is art everywhere, at the turn of a corner, in the woodcut engravings on a cabin, in city roundabouts, at the Pierre Gianadda Foundation and its park of sculptures, at the Musée Marconi, along the ancient Roman road Via Francigena, in the stained glass windows of St. Maurice’s Abbey, as well as those created by Hans Erni.
The queen fight (cow fights), the St. Bernard dogs, the Fari-net vineyard and the cheese produced in high mountain pastures are some of our strongest traditions. Come enjoy them with us !

The village of Charrat was created after its separation from Martigny in 1836. It is known as one of the few lands in Western Europe where the adonis (small yellow flower) grows naturally and visibly during the spring, along the Sentier des Adonis (adonises footpath).

LEYTRON-OVRONNAZ
Charming village of the plain, Leytron owes its title of “commune Grand Cru” to its white and red humagnes, its emblematic grape fittingly celebrated every November. The wine trail that runs through the municipal vineyards will delight your soul, while a break in the cellars and restau-rants of the area will please your palate. In the heart of the village, a small church sits proudly since 1695. Dedicated to St. Martin, it works today as a showroom.
FULLY
Fully is a town which extends itself 5 miles wide at the base of a majestic mountain : the Chavalard. Ful-ly’s emblematic grape variety, the petite Arvine, grows interlaced in its sunny vineyards. The Follatères nature reserve houses unique mediterranean plant varieties from Switzerland. In October, Fully warmly celebrates the Châtaigne (chestnut) festival, with the fruits of its famous 17-hectare chestnut grove.
