The Raclette is very simple: an alp atmosphere, cheese and a glass
of
white wine from Valais and that’s it !
Glacier Wine
Glacier wine is produced from the Rèze grape variety or from
blending mainly the Rèze and Ermitage varieties. The wine ages in
larch barrels that are placed in the wine cellars of the Anniviers
Valley. These barrels are never totally emptied and each year, the
old wine is filled with new wine.
We would be pleased to organize a wine tasting for you in the cellar
opposite our hotel !
