The Grand Hôtel & Kurhaus in Arolla has been welcoming guests since 1896. This historic mountain hotel sits at an altitude of 2,070 meters, with rooms that feature period furniture and original arolla wood. Guests can enjoy views either of the surrounding forest or the peaks of the Val d'Hérens, including Mont-Collon and glaciers. The hotel offers a variety of rooms, from single beds suitable for hikers to larger spaces accommodating families or groups, all with breakfast included. On-site dining includes three distinct spaces: a main dining room, a bistro with local fondue and raclette, and a panoramic terrace. Ski-in/ski-out access makes it convenient for winter sports, while the hotel serves as a starting point for the Haute Route and other mountain activities. There are also hiking trails accessible directly from the hotel, making it ideal for those seeking a quiet, authentic mountain experience.
