Situation
Saint-Maurice is located in the heart of the Lower Valais, where the Rhône Valley narrows between the cliffs of the Dents du Midi and the foothills of the Vaud Alps—an area with a long history and plenty of character. The property is situated slightly above the village center, in a residential neighborhood known for its tranquility, far from through traffic.
From here, you can get anywhere quickly: The highway entrance is just a few minutes’ drive away, the train station with direct connections to Lausanne is within walking distance, and Migros, Coop, and the school are practically right on your doorstep. If you’d like to get some fresh air in the evening, the surrounding vineyards and fields offer plenty of space for a stroll—with the mountains as a constant backdrop.
Municipality
Saint-Maurice, with a population of about 4,600, is located at the border between Valais and Vaud, where the Rhône Valley narrows between the rock faces. The town is defined by its Abbey of St-Maurice, one of the oldest active monasteries in Europe, and is considered the cultural hub of the Lower Valais. About 40 clubs and organizations shape the community’s social and athletic life.
Despite its modest size, Saint-Maurice offers a solid infrastructure: a secondary school, a boarding school, sports facilities with an indoor pool, a rail connection with direct service to Lausanne, and the nearby thermal baths of Lavey. Residents here benefit from short distances and an active community life, nestled in one of the canton’s most scenically stunning regions.
Access
Saint-Maurice is located directly on the Lausanne–Brig rail line and has its own train station in town. With trains running every half hour on weekdays and every hour on weekends, as well as numerous direct trains to Lausanne, the town is also attractive to commuters—the train ride to Geneva takes about 1 hour and 38 minutes.
By car, the A9 highway is just a few minutes away; take the Saint-Maurice exit (coming from Sion) or the Bex exit (coming from Lausanne). It takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes to reach Geneva, and only a quarter of an hour to reach Martigny and Sion. Those who prefer public transportation benefit just as much as drivers from the town’s central location in the Rhône Valley.
Shops/stores
Everything you need for daily life is just a few minutes’ walk away: Migros and Coop are located in the center of Saint-Maurice, along with smaller specialty shops, a pharmacy, and restaurants along the Grand-Rue.
If you’re planning a bigger shopping trip, Martigny and Monthey—both about a 15-minute drive away—offer additional shopping centers with a wider selection. So you can easily manage your daily life on foot here, without having to get in the car for every errand.
Public transport
Saint-Maurice is a major transportation hub between Valais and Vaud: The RegioExpress runs every half hour toward Lausanne–Vevey–Montreux–Bex, every hour onward to Martigny, and during peak hours even extends as far as Sion. This allows for direct access to both the Vaud Riviera and Valais without having to change trains—ideal for commuters traveling between the two cantons.
The rail network is supplemented by CarPostal bus routes departing from Saint-Maurice Station, which serve the surrounding villages and neighborhoods. Combined with direct access to the A9 highway, residents here benefit from some of the best transportation connections in the Lower Valais—a central yet peaceful place to live.
Leisure time
Saint-Maurice has much more to offer than you’d expect from a small town of this size. The indoor pool at the Centre Sportif is open year-round, while the Lavey thermal baths—just a few minutes away—invite you to relax with water temperatures of 32–36°C and a wellness area.
Hiking enthusiasts will find numerous marked trails right on their doorstep, ranging from leisurely walks along the Rhône to challenging mountain hikes toward the Dents du Midi. There are also signposted routes for cycling and mountain biking. Culturally, the region boasts the St-Maurice Abbey—over 1,500 years old—the Château de Saint-Maurice, the Grotte aux Fées, and the Théâtre du Martolet, which regularly hosts concerts and performances.
Around 40 local clubs also ensure an active community life—from sports clubs to cultural groups, there’s something for everyone. Those seeking relaxation in nature will find the Bois-Noir, a local recreational area featuring forests and the banks of the Rhône, ideal for family outings.
