Independence and mobility in Martigny District
DomusHelp presents practical solutions that may make it easier to get around in Martigny District and Lower Valais: walking aids and rollators, manual wheelchairs, electric wheelchairs, mobility scooters, and vehicles organised according to a stated maximum speed of 20, 25, 40, 45 or 80 km/h. The choice should take account of actual use, dimensions, weight, range, charging, storage, transport, maintenance, repairs, price, and the abilities of the person using it. The speed thresholds are used solely to organise the DomusHelp pages. They do not determine the vehicle’s legal category, approval, or the requirements for a driving licence, registration, insurance, equipment or road use. These points must be checked before purchase, hire or use with the provider and the competent authorities or organisations.
Advertising
This space is available
This in-page space can display clearly identified advertising for a business, brand or institution connected with mobility aids, wheelchairs, scooters, adapted vehicles, hire, maintenance, repair, charging, transport or practical mobility needs.
A presence in this space gives no access to enquiries received, no priority in the directory and no influence over DomusHelp’s editorial content.
Every advertisement is reviewed before publication. This advertising space does not constitute a recommendation, approval, prescription, or medical, technical, regulatory or legal validation of the products, vehicles or services presented.
Professional providers in the directory
The businesses and self-employed providers presented in this directory may offer the sale, hire, trial, adaptation, delivery, maintenance or repair of mobility solutions in Martigny District.
Each listing must state the type of offer, the area actually served, the conditions for a trial or delivery, and the available contact methods. A commercial profile replaces neither a medical or functional assessment nor verification of the applicable legal obligations.
No provider is currently presented on this page. A profile will be added only after the area served, the stated activity, the contact details and consent to publication have been checked.

Prepare a mobility enquiry
Before contacting a provider, it is useful to specify regular journeys, distances, indoor or outdoor use, slopes, thresholds, lifts, door widths, storage and charging options, transport in another vehicle, maximum weight, weather conditions and budget. Describe functional needs without unnecessarily sending a diagnosis, medical records or other sensitive personal data in an initial commercial contact.
Trial, quotation and after-sales service
A trial under real-life conditions is preferable whenever possible. The quotation should specify the model, accessories, adaptation, delivery, commissioning, training, warranty, batteries, spare parts, maintenance, repairs, breakdown assistance, travel charges, lead times and services not included.
Check legal and insurance requirements
The stated maximum speed is not enough to determine a vehicle’s legal status. Before purchase, hire or use, check for the specific model its approval, minimum age, any required driving licence, registration, insurance, helmet or other equipment, permitted roads, parking and the rules applying at the place of use. A commercial statement does not replace written confirmation from the competent authority or organisation.
Clear limits
DomusHelp does not prescribe any device, assess a person’s medical or functional fitness, approve any vehicle, or issue any authorisation to drive or use the road. When a need is connected with illness, disability, rehabilitation, a prescription or funding, it must be considered with the competent professionals, insurers, funding bodies and authorities.
