Apartment in the Swiss high Alps, Switzerland
Our sun flooded, two story appartement is situated in Vissoie, at the heart of the last French speaking valleys - the "Val d'Annivers" - of the larger Rhone valley in the Swiss alps. Vissoie is the most important junction in the Val d'Anniviers being the gateway to the iconic villages of St-Luc, Zinal and Grimentz all just 15 minutes away all accesible by public transport as well in summer as winter. So you basically don't need your car during your stay. All commodities are available in walking distance, boucher, bakery, small convenience store, hair dresser, pharmacy, banks, swimming pool (in summer), ice skating rink (in winter) etc.
In the Val d'Anniviers you can enjoy magnificient hiking trails of all different kinds of difficulties with impressive scenaries and refreshing mountain lake swims. You have numerous mountainbike trails as well as a downhill park in St-Luc. The valley is also excellent for road cycling, offering the possibility of multiple round trips. In winter you can ski in the iconic St-Luc/Chandolin or Zinal-Grimentz ski resorts all going up to 3000 m high, so snow is guaranteed. Enjoy a drink on the balcony at the end of a sportive day while glazing at the impressive Corne de Sorbois, Obergabelhorn or the Besso.
Vissoie is also just a stone throw away from the most important towns in the Rhône valley, Sierre and Sion, which are always worthwhile a visit. In Vissoie you have two restaurants with typical offerings such as raclette and fondue, but also more creative and inventive dishes. You have the possibility to play tennis for free in summer, as well as access the swimming pools in Zinal, Grimentz and St-Luc. For a small supplement you also have acces to the SPA facilities.
