Salvan

Salvan has served as a mountain settlement in Valais’s Trient Valley since the 13th century. Perched above the Rhône valley, the municipality extends toward the Trient River and includes Les Marécottes, a hamlet reached by the Mont-Blanc Express rail line between Martigny and Chamonix. Forested slopes, ravines and high pastures shape this Alpine setting, while the nearby Gorges du Trient show the river cutting through rock. Salvan also recalls Guglielmo Marconi through its Musée Marconi and the local tradition of his wireless telegraphy experiments here in the 1890s.
