General presentation
Martigny, Fully et Bas-Valais
Carrefour du Rhône, vineyards, cultural foundation, gorges, orchards and access to the Grand-Saint-Bernard passes.
To understand what Martigny, Fully and Bas-Valais are, you must look at Martigny, Gianadda Foundation and Gorges du Trient. These places give us the opportunity to see a territory marked by urban life, riverscapes, heritage and mountain reliefs and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: summer heat and scattered sites. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Martigny
Martigny A cross-section of the Alps, Roman remains and contemporary culture in a valley town open to the Grand-Saint-Bernard. The museum and streets near the Dranse are a convenient place to connect heritage, vineyards and mountain roads.
Place
Fondation Gianadda
The Gianadda Foundation offers a course where art, architecture and public space naturally intertwine. The rooms and exterior accesses offer clear visual cues to capture themes without overload. By slowing down, we read better the dialogues between cultural interior and city.
Nature
Gorges du Trient
The Trient imposes a canyon rhythm: views of the water, rocky corridors and paths that alternate difficulties and breathing. The noise of the water guides the progress and makes the topography more tangible than any map. It's a long-time route to enjoy.
Place
Fully
Fully It is discovered by its intermediate perspectives between valley and more open spaces, where each street gives a different reading of the territory. The promenade values the continuity of a village that remains accessible and legible. It quickly understands the link with the central Valais.
