To do
|
|
To the North, Lake Geneva provides attractive
outings, from the medieval village of Yvoire to well
known Thonon-les-Bains or Evian. Discover the truly
outstanding art collections at the Gianadda
Foundation in Martigny or the vertiginous
Devil’s Bridge Gorges. To the South, a trip to
Chamonix and the famous ‘Aiguille du
Midi’ or the stunning ‘Mer de
Glace’ will literally take your breath away!

Other resorts worth visiting

The nearby extensive Grand Massif to the south, and
the top ski areas of the Chamonix Valley and Val
d’Arly are all within reach. Les Grands Montets
in Argentière and the ‘Vallée
Blanche’ free-ride run from the Aiguille du
Midi are particularly recommended.

Food

On the culinary front, inventive and authentic
mountain cuisine is the trademark of area. Try the
‘Valaisan Platter’ (cheeses and dried
meats), or ‘Berthoud’, made with the
renowned cheese of the Valley of Abondance, and to
wash these dishes down, sparkling Fendant white wine,
or full-bodied red Mondeuse...
