Le Namasté

Top choice in Valais


Its name means ‘Welcome’ in Hindi and it's always packed. Jean-Louis – a metal sculptor who creates fantastical beasts from old tools – and his wife Annick are the creative energy behind this cosy mountain cabin at 1937m with traditional Swiss kitchen. Ski to it from Savoleyres or, come nightfall, skidoo up and sledge down. Drive up in summer.
