The Forneret Monument, a memorial located in the village of Bex, commemorates the battle of the Col de la Croix and the fallen soldiers from Bex. The monument was built on April 19 1925 on the market square of Bex. The battle it commemorates, which opposed the Ormonts militia loyal to the Canton of Bern and the occupying French troops supported by local volunteers during the French invasion of Switzerland, occurred 127 years earlier, on March 5 1798. However, the town authorities had initially promised to place a tombstone bearing the following marking "Traveller, here lies Forneret. Run if you are a tyrant, sit if you are a brother". The other side of the tombstone would have beard the writing "On this tomb, following the victory of March 5 and 6 1798, Mangourit, resident of the French Republic, received the oaths of eternal fraternity from the French, the Vaud and the valais people, in arms for the world's freedom".As the construction of the monument took place after the first world war, it was decided to add the names of the local soldiers deceased during the mobilization of the first world war. After the 1945, two additional memorial plaques were built in order to commemorate local soldiers who died during following active duty. During the summer 2019, the town council moved the monument from the market square to the village cemetery.

The Grotte aux Fées ("Cave of the Fairies") in the cliffs above Saint-Maurice, Switzerland is a natural limestone solution show cave, featuring a 77-metre (253 ft) high underground waterfall, claimed as the world's highest waterfall in a show cave. The cave was the first show cave in Switzerland. The cave was known until the mid 19th century as the Trou aux Fayes or "Sheep Hole," as it was used as a sheepfold. The cave was known from Roman times, but was first publicized in 1863 as a tourist attraction, with the present name being used from 1865.The cave was explored in 1831 when a party mapped 600 metres (2,000 ft) of passages. From 1863 Professor Chanoine Gard of the Abbey College of Saint-Maurice cleared passageways and conducted tours on behalf of an orphanage that he had founded. From 1865 the cave was operated by the Sisters of Saint-Maurice, who coined the present name. In 1925 additional exploration extended the cave network from the top of the waterfall. The network includes the 504 metres (1,654 ft) tourist gallery, the 1,200-metre (3,900 ft) Galerie des Morts and the 2,184-metre (7,165 ft) Fairies' Cave section, with an elevation difference of 122 metres (400 ft). A 2010 exploration linked the Grotte aux Fées to the nearby Grotte de Saint-Martin No.1, totaling 3,630 metres (11,910 ft) in length and 249 metres (817 ft) in elevation.The guided tour follows a 500-metre (1,600 ft) trail, ending at the waterfall. The waterfall is fed by water from the nearby Dents du Midi peaks.The cave was connected to Fort du Scex, which occupies the same cliff, between 1935 and 1936. The cave in turn was connected to Fort de Cindey between 1941 and 1946, forming part of the fortifications of Fortress Saint-Maurice and providing an underground connection between the two fortifications. The cave and both forts may be visited during summer months.
