This was our slurge while we hiked the Haute Route. It was an incredible stay in a Victorian hotel. They have a fine selection of Scotch! Dinner was included in the price and after the main course of beef steak, the waitress came around and offered everyone a second beef steak before dessert. Yes please! The view from the dining...

It's probably a five star mountain hut, but it's struggles to be a one star hotel. One bathroom for every ten rooms. Showers shared by everyone - men and women. Tiny bedrooms. Incredible location and excellent dinner made up for much of the disappointment but you need to know what you are getting into. The matron running the place was... More

I can see why this place gets mixed reviews. It uses the world hotel where I would call this a mountain hut all be it a very high end mountain hut. A hotel it is not. I know on our visit some USA based travel professionals were confused by the Hotel name but the mountain hut facilities and service. The... More

This is the sort of place you’ll love or hate, I thought it was fantastic. Built by the English in the 1880s, it fell into disrepair but has now been largely renovated by people who want to keep its Victorian character. In keeping with the Victorian age you will not get an en-suite room, you’ll have to use the (modern)... More

You have to hike to get here so expect a wonderful and easy mountaineering experience in a minimalist kind of way. Truley an awsome treat, this is a well run place where you will get a great meal with a clean small bed on top of the world. This is is not a place for spoiled or demanding tourists who... More

What a splendid wedding present! Our friends surprised us by taking us to hotel Weishorn for the last night of our hike in the Valaisanne Alps while we were expecting a simple mountain chalet. The rustic hotel is situated 600 meters above St Luc with a spectacular view of the valley d'Anniviers, which you can enjoy while having a decent... More

On paper looks great - tucked away, nice views, etc.. Reality kicks in when you see the centuries old rooms (with..."shared bathrooms") where you need to squeeze yourself to reach the micro window, hear everybody's conversations and savour the squeaking noise of the wood floor. All for the price of a decent 4 star Hotel (this thing is not star... More

At 280 ChF per night and per couple for half board this is not a cheap location. Don't expect any luxury either: common, basic facilities on each of the three floors. But it is a unique destination. To be reached on foot or a combination of ski/snowcat, the latter provided by the hotel. At 2300 m elevation it offers nice... More

You have to merit this wonderful historical hotel and restaurant built in 1888 on the top of a beautiful mountain in the center of the Valais. To reach it by foot, snowshoe or by ski you have the choice between two itineries: the easy one pass by a skislope and then half an hour of walk on a good track... More
