Reserve

Tucked away in the Val d’Hérens, Evolène lies nestled among the Swiss Alps. A quiet haven of peace and solitude waiting to be discovered.

Le Rucher d'Evolène is your invitation to do so. Dotted discreetly around the village, our refurbished heritage homes and hotel offer a refreshing taste of pure Alpine living. Settle in and let awe-inspiring surroundings revive the spirit.

Narrow cobblestone street bordered by rustic stone and wooden houses with greenery and mountains in the background.
