Le vernissage officiel de Barryland a eu lieu ce 14 août à Martigny.

Posted on 14.08.2025

Le jeudi 14 août 2025, la Fondation Barry a célébré le vernissage officiel du nouveau Barryland à Martigny, en présence de Madame Karin Keller-Sutter, Présidente de la Confédération et marraine du chien « Zeus ».

Madame Keller-Sutter, visiblement émue, a déclaré lors de sa visite : « Le nom de Barry résonne encore aujourd’hui comme un modèle de courage. Et à travers lui, c’est toute une tradition suisse que Barryland met en valeur ».

Cet événement marquant a réuni quelque 250 invités, venus découvrir le parc thématique entièrement dédié au chien Saint-Bernard, symbole culturel suisse par excellence. Barryland, qui a ouvert ses portes au public en juin dernier, propose une immersion unique dans l’univers de ces chiens emblématiques.

La Fondation Barry remercie chaleureusement tous les participants, représentants des autorités, partenaires et membres de la presse qui ont contribué à faire de cette journée un véritable succès.
