One of the most popular stops on the Chamonix-Martigny railway is Chatelard, the access point to go up and see the Emosson Dam.
Nearby Verbier is popular with outdoor enthusiasts. And who hasn't heard of the Montreux Jazz festival? Even when the festival isn't on its worth going to Montreux to visit the Château de Chillon.
Martigny
The Swiss town of Martigny by the Rhone river is well worth a visit. It is magnificently placed in an open Valley surrounded by terraced vineyards.
To get there from Chamonix either take the train, the panoramic Mount Blanc Express, or go by car over the Col des Montets and the Col de La Forclaz.
One of Martigny's major attractions is the Pierre Gianadda Foundation.
