Hotel la Cambuse ★★★

"I will wait for you in a place where there is no chance for us-Motans I ve arrived here on my Birthday.... Alone.Away from all the '' m as tu vu'' or' 'tu m as vu''(i don t really know what this means, i guess people who still have some money left to spend after St Trop), that mingle around in The ski resort where I live since 7. 5 years. I ve wanted to visit the Bains d helemence, for a few hours, then the hours turned into days, and the days turned into night, nights!This is what happends to all my plans, they drop, as my mind is curly, curly like my hair. About Val D Val d’Hérens i know a little:it s the Place where the second most beautiful mountain in Valais, actually in Switzerland :Dent Blanche is located, and yes, i m probably the only person that finds Dent Blanche more beautiful than Cervin, maybe because in summer the Snow simply does not want to leave the mountain, which is Fascinating. My top mountains in Switzerland are 1.Ober Gabelhon,2 Dent Blanche and then 3.Zermatt, in this specific order.Only after seeing the Photos of Thomas Crauwels you will understand why.....

So the plan was to spend my weekend in the Spa, but time passed so fast, so I ve decided to book 4 nights in this valley. Eringer was way too expensive for me at these dates, so i ve spotted John s Lounge, a beautiful boutique hotel with nice reviews and decent prices, and a private Appartment in Hermetence. John s, i ve got to find later it belong to the same owner as '' La Cambuse'', the only difference is that "John s Lounge" has one extra star, so you get 4 star conditions, it is New(maybe 4 years) , it s modern, the beds are cozy, you get really good quality sleep, and it is quiet, very quiet... And some millions were invested in this place, which was a '' self service restaurant, with a disco down. I will tell more about this place in my next comment. At '' La Cambuse'' what was fascinating me was the story behind this place:a place born from pure sacrifice. For 8 years, his father worked at the building the Grande Dixence dam, in 1960,saving every hard-earned coin just to buy a piece of wild land in''Les Collons' ', the place where the Restaurant is located. During this time , it was a desolate, empty mountain with no roads, so the Comune of Vex after 8 years of work, gave them one single year(!!) to build their dream, or lose everything.It reminded me somehow of 'The Coccinelle' story in 1939 during the second War World in Germany..... . Smile smile smile Penniless but driven by love for his family, the owners father refused to give up. Using his own trucks and his meager earnings from Geneva, he bought an old worker's barracks for just 500 swiss francs. He hauled the pieces across the mountains to Valais, pouring his heart into co"
