Hostellerie du Pas de l'Ours "Relais et Chateaux"

The Hostellerie du Pas de l'Ours is set in a beautiful location high up in the Alps in Switzerland's Valais region. The facade may look traditional but inside it's alpine-modern clean lines with exposed woodwork, natural stone and open fireplaces. Book a suite and it comes complete with your own fireplace, a jacuzzi and a south-facing balcony to take in the magnificent mountain scenery. There's two main eateries - the high-end Restaurant Gastronomique and the more traditional Bistrot des Ours, both of which draw on the hotel's impressive cellar of Grand Crus, local and international vintages. Our top tip? Ask for a table on the terrace so you won't miss a moment of those views.
