About Fabian Leu

Originally from Upper Valais, Fabian Leu has been fascinated by nature since childhood. Through his images, he reveals the richness of our natural environment and invites us to observe the animals that inhabit our forests and meadows with care and respect.

He is particularly passionate about wolves and has spent several years following packs in Central and Upper Valais with the help of camera traps. This demanding fieldwork requires patience and perseverance, and occasionally rewards him with rare and moving encounters.

A region to discover

In the country of Barry

The first floor of the Café de Barry hosts an exhibition that highlights the beauty of the Barry region.

Through their tourist offices, the municipalities of the region reveal the richness of their territory. Giant historical photographs adorn the walls around the floor, offering visitors a visual journey through the past.

Here, the landscapes are not just beautiful, they tell stories. The story of the legendary St. Bernard dogs, of course, but also that of a generous, authentic, and deeply vibrant region. With its welcoming villages, scenic trails, and deep-rooted traditions, the Barry region invites you to slow down, breathe, and experience the mountains in a different way. Hiking, discovery, encounters, sport, and culture punctuate daily life in a region that never ceases to surprise.

The exhibition is organized by the Barry Foundation to thank its regional partners:

  • Communes of the Entremont district
  • Communes of the Martigny district

in collaboration with: Martigny Tourisme, Pays du St. Bernard, Verbier Tourisme, Vallée d’Aoste, as well as the City of Martigny, FMV – Forces motrices valaisannes, Fondation Pierre Gianadda, Fondation Bernard et Caroline de Watteville and with the support of: Délégation valaisanne à la Loterie Romande, Fondation Léonard Gianadda – Mécénat

Exhibition curators: Sophia Cantinotti and Jean-Henry Papilloud
