Salvan-Les Marécottes
The Trient glacier and irrigation channel; the waterfalls and Trient Gorges at Vernayaz, from Dailley to Granges and from Triège to Trétien; the glacial cauldrons at Salvan and Granges; the dinosaur tracks at Vieux-Emosson; above Finhaut the Salanfe and Emosson reservoirs; the panoramic plateau of La Creusaz; the Emaney, Barberine, Fenestral and Golettaz mountain passes; as well as Marécottes Alpine Zoo - where chamois, ibex, lynx, marmots, eagles and Canadian bears are to be seen - provide a fascinating panoply of excursion destinations that are both instructive and entertaining.
The Trient Valley provides the link between Martigny and Chamonix. Enjoy discovering the delights of the valley, in total relaxation, from the Mont-Blanc Express cog railway, the Barberine funicular, the Châtelard panoramic train and minifunic or from the La Creusaz cablecar.
Highlights
The Trient Valley, protected by its deep, vertiginous gorges, looks inaccessible from Vernayaz in the Rhône Valley but a good road guarantees access from the East. The modern section of the Forclaz pass road from Martigny to Chamonix dominates the Western access to this tranquil hiking paradise.
