2000, the year of the merger
The first year of the new millennium also saw the creation of Transports de Martigny et Régions SA (TMR) from the merger of the Martigny-Châtelard and Martigny-Orsières railways.

1910, connecting the Entremont region
For the first time, the Martigny-Orsières railway links the Rhône valley to the Entremont. It was enthusiastically welcomed by the local population, who soon referred to the line simply as “MO”.
-
1906,
a heroic effortThe Martigny-Châtelard railway makes history as it overcomes the steep slopes of the Trient valley for the first time. This also marked the inception of a legendary train that later came to be known as the Mont-Blanc Express.
It is by knowing where we came from...
…that we know where we are headed. A pioneering spirit and expert know-how have been part of TMR’s DNA for more than a century. We cultivate this daring spirit and expertise on a daily basis to be able to face the challenges of today and tomorrow with confidence.
