Grand Hôtel des Rasses: a gem from the Belle Epoque at a height of 1200m

This hotel built in the beginning of the 20th century in the great tradition of the Palaces of this era is a must. A timeless scene to visit, almost like a museum: «Heimatstil»-influenced architecture inspired by fortified castles with painted woodwork, a massive oak fireplace and stained-glass windows with geometric «Art nouveau» designs.

A slightly old-fashioned charm emanates from this spot, which is still telling the story of the golden age of tourism and industry, of music boxes in particular. After the dark age of the economic crisis in the 70's, the hotel, acknowledged meanwhile as a historic monument, gradually regained the sophistication held at the beginning of the century, but with the comfort of a three-star hotel including indoor swimming pool, sauna and fitness room. Do not miss the beautiful Belle Epoque dining room with windows opening to the entire Alps range, from Mont-Blanc to Pilate.
