Things to see and do Martigny

A visit to Morand's is a must. For four generations, the house has been a must when travelling through the Valais! The distillery has been in operation since 1889 and produces the most emblematic product of the Valais: its eau-de-vie. The tour explains how the famous Abricotine PDO brandy, Williamine, is made. You will wander around the stills and discover all the secrets of production: from the selection of the fruit to the fermentation process.

This living museum is located in the old arsenal next to the Roman amphitheatre. It has been open since 2005 and is dedicated to the St Bernards from the kennels of the eponymous pass, which were once run by the canons. The observation of the feeding and grooming of the animals is obviously very popular, but it is also possible to go for a walk with one of them. You can get emotional over the puppies and attend information sessions on the life of these animals. The centre also hosts temporary exhibitions. Restaurant and bar on site.

Within the Fondation Pierre Gianadda, a museum space houses a rich collection of some forty rare vehicles in working order: Stanley steam engines, Benz and Jeanperrin from 1897, Delauney-Belleville for Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, Hispano-Suiza, Mercedes SSK... More curious, Swiss-made cars, such as these Pic-Pic, Martini or Turicum. Enough to delight collectors and enthusiasts of unique models.
