 Bella Tola is the name of the peak that dominates St-Luc. It is also the name of a hotel, over a hundred years old, that is situated in the heart of Val d'Anniviers, directly facing the 4000. Initially a refuge for the travellers who were hosted by the local priest, this 19th century residence recently underwent a complete renovation that earned it the title of historic hotel of the year in 2001.
All the rooms are different, decorated in the baroque style and dotted with a multitude of artefacts gathered from second-hand shops by the lady of the house, Anne-Françoise Buchs-Favre. A romantic inspiration that is also present in the brand new SPA. There is a covered swimming pool with a view on Cervin and beauty care cabins, in a decor combining natural stones, fire and ice. A place of serenity to be discovered in the most snug of surroundings.
