Autumn in Saillon #blog

In autumn, Saillon is decked out in a thousand sparkling colours. Nature is ablaze, putting on one last great show before gently drifting off into winter. It's an ideal season to enjoy the warm atmosphere of the village, savour the delights of the local produce and experience unique moments in the heart of the flamboyant countryside.

A legendary setting comes to life

During this season, the medieval town opens its doors to visitors, inviting them to immerse themselves in its history, secret alleyways and unusual encounters.

The Saillon Medieval Festivals

The autumn programme

Throughout the season, you can also discover Saillon’s heritage on our guided tours and through original experiences, such as the Marble & Wine walk through the town, or the “Become an apprentice forger” workshop organised as part of the Night of the Museums.

Terroirs that warm the heart and taste buds

When the days get cooler, the table takes over! In autumn, Saillon’s restaurants celebrate the flavours of the season: game dishes, gourmet brisolées and recipes inspired by the Valais region.
>> Tips : the restaurants are very popular thanks to their autumn specialities. Remember to book in advance!
