EVA Martigny: the virtual reality arena that gets the whole family moving

A full-scale VR experience in Martigny

If your children dream of e-sports and futuristic adventures, EVA Martigny has everything to please. Here, you put on a headset, grab a controller, and move around a large free arena, without any cables getting in the way. You communicate, coordinate, and experience a real team game. The atmosphere is dynamic yet friendly, designed for families with teenagers.

What your children will love

You move for real. You hide behind obstacles, cover a teammate, celebrate a scored point. The universes change according to the games: science fiction, skill challenges, cooperative modes. The e-sport aspect motivates the youth, while parents appreciate teamwork and communication. The spatialized sound and freedom of movement make the immersion very credible, without needing to initially love screens.

What to expect on-site

• Active and playful activity, with a gentle sports dimension: you walk, pivot, and lean.
• Safety and equipment briefing before playing, followed by a session in the arena.
• Equipment provided and adjusted by the team. The glasses are generally compatible with the headset.
• Most scenarios are played in teams; you can also privatize slots for a group of teens.

What parents want to know

For age, consider pre-teens and teens: generally from 12 years old, depending on size and comfort under the headset. Games often last 30 to 40 minutes, with about 15 to 20 minutes of briefing: plan for 1 to 1 hour 15 on-site. It’s an indoor activity, ideal year-round, perfect when it’s raining or very hot.

Reservation is highly recommended, especially on weekends and during holidays. The experience is paid; prices vary according to the time slot and type of session (simple game, e-sport league, privatization). In terms of safety, the arena is clear, the equipment is supervised, and the team ensures distance is respected. Younger participants may be impressed by the immersion; don’t hesitate to start with a cooperative mode.

For access, Martigny is well served by public transport and easy to reach by car. Wear closed and comfortable shoes, light clothing, and bring a water bottle for after the game. Cases of discomfort in VR are rarer when moving freely than when seated, but if your teen is sensitive to motion sickness, mention it during the briefing.

Beyond the fun, the activity develops coordination, communication, spatial orientation, and team confidence. It’s also an opportunity for teens to experience a structured e-sport practice, where you really move and cooperate.

Parent tips

• Arrive 10 minutes early for the briefing and equipment.
• Choose a cooperative game mode for the first time.
• Light clothing and stable shoes recommended.
• Tie back long hair and empty pockets before entering the arena.
• After the session, plan for a small snack and water.
