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 of the 2025 Foire du Valais. A giant stand at the heart of the Fair will feature..:
> a food court featuring dishes based on local produce (game, trout fillet, roast beef, cheese barquette, salée de la Vallée),
> a bar/grocery area with “Saveurs Dents du Midi” products to enjoy as an aperitif
> a raclette takeaway area organized by the “World Raclette Championships” committee.
On the sidelines of the Foire du Valais in Martigny, its president Vincent Claivaz – present at the national holiday festivities in Morgins and Champéry – suggested that the Vallée d’Illiez take up a crazy challenge: an XXL aperitif organized in Troistorrents for the Journée des communes, which will launch the Foire du Valais.
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:
– Giant aperitif offered by Région Dents du Midi and Foire du Valais.
– In the event of bad weather, the event will be moved to the Salle polyvalente in Troistorrents.
