10 Specialty Museums in Canton of Valais That You Shouldn't Miss
At the foot of the Swiss Alps lies Valais, "the valley." This fabled region is a year-round favorite, with spectacular skiing in the winter and superb hiking in summer. The Matterhorn, the Great St. Bernard Pass and Zermatt are the stars of the area, but glaciers, lakes, mountain paths, castle-churches and a wealth of resorts also beckon. Visit L'Hospice du Grand St. Bernard to see the animals who helped the monks rescue travelers or the Fondation Pierre Gianadda, Roman ruins that now house modern art.

A small museum in Saillon which is curated with love. No entry fee, it opened at 1400 on a Saturday. We visited it after hiking from Leytron to the Farinet bridge (an even greater place to go to) and from there to Saillon. Explanations in the museum are in French and lots of them also in German.

We went in late afternoon for a visit to this splendid museum with a large sculpture garden, ending with a beer in the small cafe in the garden. A wonderful place to enjoy.
