“Great. We thought we would spend 1.5 to 2 hours with my 4-year-old daughter, but we ended up staying all afternoon.”
Martigny
Martigny is a town on the Rhone plain in the Lower Valais. Several canals drain the formerly marshy area. Martigny lies on the lower reaches of the Dranse and is framed by mountains, some of which are very steep, reaching about 1800 meters above sea level. The town has several sights to offer. A Roman amphitheater dates back to the beginning of the 2nd century and is a pure earthen structure. Today it is used for open-air cinema and cow fights. The ruins of La Bâtiaz Castle can be visited as well as the Barryland St. Bernard Museum.

“Super Guide. Really enjoyed.”
“It was a stunning castle and we easily spent a couple hours there.”
“Quality day with valentine and airtime paragliding. Couldn’t have made my 30th any more special.”
“Absolutely amazing! I had a stunning glide and as a bonus got a massage!!!”
“5 stars for the mountain views, lucky with the weather and to be seated on the revolving part of the restaurant. Most of the cable staff were confused with this app/ticket, only one out of six knew to scan the QR code with a different app, the rest let us through the barrier with a couple of them saying we should have had a paper or different sort of ticket. No extra cost etc. but be warned. Waitress in the restaurant didn't recognise the ticket either so had to check with a manager but all good in the end. Meat and cheese board for 2 people as expected - four different ones of each, a couple of pieces of cheese, four slices of each meat.”
