Monthey

Monthey occupies the lower Rhône Valley in Valais, where the Vièze descends from the Val d’Illiez towards the Rhône. Set in a broad Alpine valley not far from Lake Geneva, the town has a distinctly working identity: industry has long stood alongside vineyards and farming on the surrounding slopes. Monthey is especially known in French-speaking Switzerland for its Carnival, when parades, masks and pointed satire fill the centre before Lent. The Théâtre du Crochetan maintains a year-round performing-arts programme, while rail links connect the town with the wider Chablais.
