Trient is a village in Valais near the French border with Chamonix. It lies in the Val de Trient at the foot of the Mont Blanc massif. The Trient glacier was still supplying ice for restaurants, breweries and dairies in the 19th century. On the outskirts of the village, on the road to Chamonix, there is a loop leading to the mysterious Tête-Noire gorges. They contain idyllic waterfalls and a grotto and are only accessible via steep steps. Canyoning is popular in the gorge. You can reach Trient from Martiny by post bus in the direction of Châtelard.
“The castle was much bigger inside than expected, with amazing history and stunning artefacts. It was a great time of year to visit, not too crowded, and the whole experience was interesting. Walking where people walked hundreds of years ago felt humbling.”
“Great weather, beautiful hike”
“Great. We thought we would spend 1.5 to 2 hours with my 4-year-old daughter, but we ended up staying all afternoon.”
“An immersive exhibition that touches the soul. Every detail has been thoughtfully crafted, staying true to Chaplin's humanism. You feel connected to his world from the moment the film starts at the cinema, before gradually exploring each theme of his vast body of work. A body of work that rises above human foolishness through laughter, poetry, beauty, dreams, and unconditional love. Universal.”
“I was able to see the city in a different way.”
“Friendly reception! A slightly tricky GPS route to access the place”
