Walser Ecomuseum 'Opština'

Located in the historic district of Gressoney-La-Trinité, the Walser Ecomuseum 'Opština' offers a fascinating and immersive glimpse into the unique culture and history of the Walser people, who settled this valley centuries ago. Housed within an authentically preserved Walser dwelling (a 'Stadel'), the museum meticulously showcases traditional tools, rustic furniture, period clothing, and historical documents, vividly illustrating their daily life, distinctive customs, and the ancient Walser dialect. It provides essential context to the characteristic architecture and enduring traditions still evident throughout the village. Opening hours vary by season but are generally afternoon hours (e.g., 14:00-18:00) during summer and winter peak periods. The entrance fee is typically around €5.
