I've been skiing in St Luc in the Val d'Anniviers for the past 10 years, my partner for many years longer than me. We've been staying at Au Manoir on and off, alternating with another hotel in St Luc, and I've never been disappointed. After a break of a couple of years, we stayed there last weekend, and I'd forgotten how charming Vissoie is: a true gem. ||||Our room was small but lovely, chalet-styled, with a balcony overlooking the village.

Read moreVery typical large chalet covered in flowers. Lovely building from the outside. Some parking alongside; on the weekend and outside school days possible to park in front of the hotel. The hotel faces the main road into the valley - it wasn’t as bad as we had expected but still a bit noisy.||The valley buses stop just outside so convenient if you're relying on public transport. The rooms are up steep stairs and are furnished in a traditional chalet style. Beginning to show their age and a bit small with low ceilings but cute and sufficient. Small balcony to enjoy a drink. Breakfast was just ok, better breakfast buffets to be had in this part of Switzerland. Dinner better but nothing special. Not the friendliest service.
