From the Arpille to the Cime de l'Est, from Trient glacier to the vineyards of Martigny-Combe, from breathtaking gorges to dry stone walls, from the Salanfe and Emosson dams to St-Maurice abbey, the Valley of Trient Regional Nature Park unfolds its cultural treasures and natural wonders. Its wild, unspoilt nature offers splendid landscapes, studded with tasty local produce from an authentic heritage. Living traditions, folk music and dances, and the local patois are some of the local customs perpetuated by committed societies. The territory covers a 222 sq.km area spread over the seven communes of Saint-Maurice, Evionnaz, Vernayaz, Martigny-Combe, Salvan, Finhaut and Trient.

All along this route, there is a succession of stunning landscapes: the mountains of Trient, Mont-Blanc and Dents du Midi, the Triège gorges, Trient, Dailley, the Salanfe, Emosson and Vieux-Emosson dams and several nature reserves. In 1976, following the melt of an old névé, over 800 dinosaur prints, of nine different species, were discovered at Vieux-Emosson. This tour could also be called the Pass Tour since, starting from the La Forclaz pass, there is a whole succession of passes: Balme, Posettes, Terrasse, Barberine and finally, Emaney.

The les Marécottes winter resort is nestled between Chamonix, Verbier and the Portes du Soleil and is ideal for families. The resort benefits from its 100% natural snow cover and is therefore also a well-kept secret among freeriders. To ensure visitors’ safety, the off-piste domain is best experienced with a guide.

Located in a natural outdoor setting, the Salvan ice rink welcomes skaters and hockey players from mid-December to the end of February, depending on weather conditions. The local club HC Salvan is having its games and organizes regularly events. A small bar beneath allows the chance to take a break before returning on the rink… Material rental at low prices is available on site.
