Festive and cultural activities, a major chemical site, proximity to ski areas… Three good reasons among others to make a decision in the canton of Valais by taking a flat à louer à Monthey.
The third-largest town in the canton of Valais is best known for hosting one of the biggest carnivals in French-speaking Switzerland. A historic event, it has been held every year before Mardi Gras since 1872 and attracts more than 40,000 people. The town also hosts several music festivals and the New Year Fair. There's plenty to live intensely in every season with a flat to rent in Monthey.
Living in Monthey also means staying close to one of the largest ski areas. The Portes du Soleil has 12 ski resorts, including Les Crosets and Champoussin in Switzerland, and Avoriaz and Morzine in France. And even those who don't ski can simply marvel at the spectacular Alpine scenery the town has to offer.
While the town had just 6,800 inhabitants in the 1960s, it now has almost three times as many: 17,800. This is no doubt thanks to the chemical site that has been part of the town since the 19th century, and which has been able to renew itself to provide employment for its residents.
