Martigny
All those who wish to take a break from the delights of the 4 Vallees will find the peaceful town of Martigny (27 km away) a nice cultural alternative. One of the most popular attractions here is the Pierre Gianadda Foundation, which displays a Roman museum inclusive of a complimentary archaeological tour of a huge Roman amphitheater. There is also an interesting museum displaying classic cars. You will find the so-called Labyrinth of Adventures 10 km away from Martigny in the direction of Lausanne. This is an exciting and challenging maze, one that it is highly recommended you visit. Lausanne
The city of Lausanne faces Evian les Bains in France. It is a city on the shores of Lake Geneva in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, 99 km away from Verbier. The Jura hills are to the north of the city. Philip Morris and the International Olympic Committee are both headquartered here. This area is very well known for its vinyards. There are over 20 museums in Lausanne, perhaps more than in any other Swiss city. The Olympic Museum houses permanent and temporary displays on the subject of Olympic sports and history. There are also many art works on the theme of athletics. The museum lies amid a lush park. It offers a comprehensive view of the Olympics, going as far back as tournaments in ancient Greece. Happyland
Happyland, the biggest Swiss theme park, is located on the road between Sion (54 km from Verbier) and Sierre. This is a great one-day trip, especially if you have taken your kids along. The park is open from late March to early November each year.
