Overview
Labyrinthe Aventure is located in Evionnaz, between Saint-Maurice and Martigny, in Lower Valais. It bills itself as the largest permanent maze in the world. Its walls are made of living thuja trees, which change with the seasons and over the years. Its tower serves as a landmark and can be seen from the motorway.
When it opened in 1998, the park consisted solely of the maze. Over time, it has gradually added games and activities. Today the maze features thousands of thuja trees planted over 10,000 m², with more than 3 km of paths.
