Two stars may not seem like a hedonistic haven, but Hotel de Moiry is thoroughly worthy of being counted among the top hotels in Val d’Anniviers. Housed inside a three-storey building in the village centre, the prices are reasonable and the hospitality great. The Salamin family has been looking after guests here for generations, and they welcome guests with the kind of warmth expected of a five-star establishment. Recent refurbishments mean there’s even more reason to stay, with updates to rooms that extend beyond mere licks of paint; indeed, large family rooms have been added for those holidaying with their children. Note the amusing pictures of fighting cows in the public spaces; if they don’t put a smile on your frosty face nothing will.
