The Communes Day will officially kick off the Foire du Valais with an XXL aperitif in Troistorrents! Join us as we take on the challenge of finishing the bottle, and enjoy a moment of conviviality!
The Dents du Midi Region is the Region and Table of Honor at the 2025 Foire du Valais. A giant stand will feature a central exhibition, events, tastings and meetings, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the lively, tasty world of the Vallée d’Illiez.
On the sidelines of the Foire du Valais in Martigny, its president, Vincent Claivaz – who was present at the national holiday festivities in Morgins and Champéry – proposed a bold challenge to the Illiez Valley: an XXL aperitif in Troistorrents for Communes Day, which will mark the official opening of the Valais Fair.
The aim is to share (and finish) with you all a 150-liter bottle of Fendant offered by the organizing committee. It’s a challenge we’re sure to meet! A delegation will then take the train in procession to Martigny to reach the Fair site.
Practical information:
– In the event of bad weather, the event will be moved to the Troistorrents multi-purpose hall.
