Finhaut

Finhaut occupies a steep alpine slope above the Trient valley in Valais. The municipality reaches towards the French frontier and the Emosson reservoir, set beneath the high terrain of the Mont Blanc massif. Its mountain setting is closely tied to the Mont Blanc Express railway, whose line connects Martigny with Chamonix and stops at Finhaut; the route remains an important link through this cross-border part of the Alps. Above the reservoir, the Vieux-Emosson area is known for fossil dinosaur footprints exposed in rock. Finhaut suits travellers interested in Alpine rail travel, dams and geology rather than urban sightseeing.
