Ravoire

Ravoire combines a quiet hillside setting with close connections to the Rhône Valley in a way that reflects its position above Martigny in Valais. Part of the municipality of Martigny-Combe, it belongs to a chain of settlements on the approaches to the Grand-Saint-Bernard Pass. The Rhône crosses the broad valley below, framed by steep Alpine slopes. Nearby Martigny preserves remains of the Roman town of Forum Claudii Vallensium, including an amphitheatre, and is home to the Fondation Pierre Gianadda. Ravoire provides a useful starting point for understanding how small mountain communities relate to one of Switzerland’s major valley routes.
