Le parcours de visite est basé sur la lumière et l’image, symboles de la connaissance et de la foi. Il raconte une histoire exceptionnelle: celle d’une communauté religieuse vivante, miraculeusement préservée et constituant le témoignage unique d’une activité spirituelle et culturelle sans équivalent dans le monde occidental chrétien. Consciente de l’importance mondiale de son patrimoine historique et culturel, l’Abbaye de Saint-Maurice a décidé de l’ouvrir au public à l’occasion de son Jubilé. La visite de son Site culturel et patrimonial débute dans la basilique qui date du 17e siècle. Vous parcourez ensuite le site archéologique des anciennes églises – aussi appelé site du Martolet – qui résulte de dix années de fouilles. Enfin, vous traversez les catacombes avant de découvrir le Trésor abbatial.

As every year, in the summer every Saturday afternoon, there is a concert with this old organ. The organ is in the minor basilica of Valère. Each concert is different with musician coming from around the world to interpret various pieces of musics, mainly pieces that are not so common for the no connoisseurs of organ music.

A lovely, friendly place, simple rooms, hearty and nice food and exceptional welcome and opportunities for religious services, it was great to speak to the monks, the volunteers and some of the other guests. What a special and wonderful community.

This Abbey and its setting is a feast for the eyes and the soul, too. The beauty of the well preserved frescoes and sculptured bible scenes in it are only rivaled by the glorious panorama of the city on the lake beneath, nestled on the foot of the mountain. The church and the Abbey is easily accessible and some of the works can be admired even on days, when it is closed for viewing. The silver hearts on the church walls, dedicated to the Madonna from grateful pilgrims for answered prayers, are something special I hadn't seen before. The Chirch is not difficult to find and visit. One can walk to it from the city, but this option is for the fit only. For the less athletic among us, there is the Funicular departing every 15 mins. The penultimate stop is for the Abbey. At the last stop there is a restaurant, where visitors could get meals and refreshments, while admiring the view below.
