Grand Hôtel & Kurhaus Arolla

In the village resort of Arolla, at the bottom of the Val d'Hérens, the Grand Hotel & Kurhaus d'Arolla welcomes mountain lovers in all four seasons. Nestled at an altitude of 2100 m. in the heart of a superb forest of arolla trees and surrounded by the most prestigious peaks of the Valaisan Alps, the Grand Hotel & Kurhaus is proud to be a Swiss Historic Hotel.

Dating back to 1896, it has retained its old-fashioned character and the old-fashioned charm of hotels from the golden age of the Alps. Nostalgic for the mountain epic, you will love this historic place.  Easily accessible all year round, by car or post bus, the Grand Hôtel & Kurhaus is the perfect setting for your weekends and stays in the mountains of the Val d'Hérens.

60 rooms with an arolla décor, some of which have a balcony and a view of the surrounding peaks (Pigne d'Arolla, Mont Collon, Aiguille de la Tza), offer calm and comfort for a getaway for two, with family or friends. The historic rooms and lounges invite you to relax and immediately immerse you in the atmosphere of the past.

The Arolles garden, facing Mont-Collon, is one of the most beautiful terraces in the Valais. In summer and winter alike, it is the perfect place for a meal at altitude, sunbathing and enjoying the view.

The Grand Hôtel & Kurhaus offers several dining areas: the Honorine dining room, the carnotzet and the terrace. 3 places for 3 different atmospheres with a gourmet menu that varies according to the seasons and favours short circuits. A modern cuisine concocted by the chef, Mathieu Fonteyn.

The hotel is located at the start of trails for beautiful hikes from spring to autumn: alpine pastures, alpine lakes, high altitude huts, etc. A privileged place for travellers without cars, in love with wild nature. It is also an ideal starting point for discovering the Val d'Hérens and its picturesque villages, such as Evolène, ranked among the most beautiful villages in Switzerland. It is on the route of the Haute Route and one of the starting points of the famous Patrouille des Glaciers. In winter, Arolla is a paradise for ski touring and access to the ski area is right outside the hotel door.

The idyllic location, the mountain environment, the easy access and the infrastructure make the Hotel Kurhaus a popular venue for private functions (weddings, anniversaries) and business meetings (seminars, team building). At an altitude of more than 2000 m, the hotel offers its guests a free high performance wi-fi access. The hotel's little extras (shuttle bus, yoga, massage, various activities and entertainment) offer smart and serene stays for everyone all year round.
