Saint-Martin lies in Val d’Hérens, an Alpine side valley of the Rhône shaped by the Borgne River and steep slopes rising towards high mountain terrain. This small community belongs to the French-speaking canton of Valais, a region where villages, pastures and forests remain closely tied to seasonal mountain life. The wider valley leads south towards the high Alps, while the Rhône valley and the city of Sion lie to the north. Valais is also the home region of raclette, the well-known melted-cheese dish rooted in Alpine pastoral traditions.
