Living the high life

Mayen getaway in Colombire

A mountain hideaway where the past still whispers

Release

The mountain’s true spirit comes to life in these mayens, set amongst the larch trees at 1,850 m in altitude, along the Bisse du Tsittoret trail (1 hr walk from Aminona; 2.5-3 hrs from Crans-Montana). In the winter, the trek is done in snowshoes and is rewarded with a raclette and a descent by sled beneath the moon. In the summer, the Eco-Museum makes for a great visit (open every weekend from 29 May-28 Sept., and every day from 12 July-24 Aug.). Take a trip through history… and maybe even fall in love with the accommodations! The “Plan Mayens” offers the perfect overnight stay for two people.
