Martigny (German Martinach) sometimes also Octodure in French) is the capital of the French-speaking district of Martigny in the canton of Valais in Switzerland. It lies at an elevation of 471 meters, and its population is approximately 15000 inhabitants (Martignerains or "Octoduriens"). It is a junction of roads joining Italy, France and Switzerland. One road links it over the Great St. Bernard Pass to Aosta (Italy), and the other over the col de la Forclaz to Chamonix (France). In winter, Martigny is appreciated for its numerous nearby Alp ski resorts such as Verbier.

The first dam of Emosson (also known as Barberine Dam) was built in 1925. The current dam with a height of 180 m was completed in 1974 and floods the old dam. It increased the reservoir's volume from 40 mio m³ to 227 mio m³. The old dam can still be seen when the water level in the Lac d'Emosson is very low.
Grimentz is a village in the district of Sierre in the Swiss canton of Valais. An independent municipality before, it merged on 1 January 2009 with neighboring Ayer, Chandolin, Saint Jean, Saint-Luc and Vissoie to form the municipality of Anniviers.

The village lies in the Val d'Anniviers in the Pennine Alps.
