Saint-Maurice

Highlight • Settlement

The town of Saint-Maurice, located on the Rhône at the end of Lake Geneva, is tucked away at the foot of a looming rock face and is known for its rich past. The place, inhabited since classical antiquity, grew into a stronghold of Christianity at the end of the 3rd century AD. The abbey, the oldest monastery in the Avondland, which has been inhabited since the beginning of its existence, is now home to about forty Augustinians and a renowned school, with about a thousand students from all over French Switzerland.

Martigny town center and La Bâtiaz Castle

Highlight • Settlement

Arriving in Switzerland by car you will almost certainly pass through Martigny, as it is located along the road that leads to the Simplon and the Gran San Bernardo. The village of Martigny is located in southern Switzerland, in the canton of Valais south-east of Montreux, at the crossroads of the roads leading to the Simplon and Gran San Bernardo passes. This village is very popular in the winter for the many nearby ski resorts including Verbier. With a rich historical and cultural heritage, here is the famous Pierre Gianadda Foundation, Martigny boasts a Roman amphitheater, Roman baths, several temples and Roman houses. Martigny also boasts a 13th-century medieval castle and one of the oldest mills in French-speaking Switzerland still in business. If you are traveling with children to Switzerland do not miss the Musée et Chiens du San Bernardo and the Museum of Earth Sciences. The French holiday resort of Chamonix is accessible in an hour and a half thanks to the Mont Blanc Express while the Sankt Bernhard Express takes passengers from Martigny to Orsières.

Beautiful bike path along the Rhône

Highlight • Cycleway

Here it rolls very pleasant along the Rhone on a bike path on the river dam. Definitely take the detour to Cascade de Pissevache, very impressive waterfall.
