A HISTORY OF ADVENTURE
Heart of the community
For years, the Grand Hôtel & Kurhaus has hosted adventurers from across the globe, while at the same time welcoming locals from the towns and villages that dot the valley. Among our early guests were Everest pioneers Mallory and Hillary, and, more recently, members of the Swiss Army taking part in the famous Patrouille des Glaciers race. We’re also perfectly positioned along the Haute Route Ski Tour, the most famous such course in the Alps. Today, guests are just as likely to rub shoulders with mountaineers and athletes as they are with local skiers who’ve stopped en route for refreshment.
