Salvan () is a municipality in the Saint-Maurice District, in Valais, Switzerland.
==History== Salvan is first mentioned in 1018 as cum Silvano. Around 1025-31 it was mentioned as in monte Salvano. The municipality was formerly known by its German name , however, that name is no longer used. In the 11th century, the Abbey of Saint-Maurice had rights over Salvan (as well as Ottanel), probably donated to it by Rudolph III of Burgundy. In the 19th century, Salvan developed rapidly as a resort after the creation of a carriage road in 1855, and in 1906 the Martigny–Châtelard line.
