Check the latest visa requirements and entry guidelines before travelling.
Weather
November in Martigny is late autumn in the Rhône valley. Daytime highs typically sit around 8-12 C, with nighttime lows around 1-4 C. Rain is common, and the first snow can dust the surrounding slopes while the valley floor usually stays rain. Morning valley fog is possible. These are climatological ranges, not a forecast; check MeteoSwiss before travel and pack layers plus a waterproof jacket.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Swiss mobile and data coverage is dense; travellers can buy a Swiss eSIM or prepaid SIM on arrival rather than relying on roaming from their home operator.
Ride-hailing
Taxis
Public transit
Car rentals
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Language
French is the main language in Martigny and Valais Romand. Some exhibitors may provide German or English materials, but French is the most useful for conversations with local care services and families.
Currency and payments
Switzerland uses the Swiss franc (CHF), not the euro. Major cards are widely accepted in Martigny, but carry some cash for small kiosks, rural buses, and market stalls.
Care system context
Switzerland's home-care model includes Spitex services and EMS residential homes, shaped by cantonal rules and health insurance. This context matters when discussing care-at-home services, assistive equipment, and funding at the fair.
Food and wine
Valais specialties include raclette, fondue, and Fendant white wine. Evening exhibitor receptions or restaurant meetings may feature local wines; book popular restaurants in Martigny ahead of the fair.
Tipping and etiquette
Service is generally included by law. Rounding up or leaving about 5-10% for good service is customary. Punctuality is valued for meetings and stand appointments.
Sunday and public holidays
Many shops close on Sundays in Martigny. Confirm fair opening days and local bus schedules, especially if you plan to arrive a day early or stay after the event.
Nearby heritage
The Fondation Pierre Gianadda and the Roman amphitheatre in Martigny are short walks from the town centre. They are useful for a half-day before or after the fair if your schedule allows.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
