Minotel Blinnenhorn ***The hotel offers an open view on a lovely area, called the Goms valley (upper Valais region). Dark brown, wooden houses and a pretty, baroque church characterise Reckingen-Gluringen whose villagers have a true sense of hospitality. Healthy outdoor activities and, during winter, a 100 km long network of cross-country ski tracks in an enchanting landscape and a great toboggan run await you. A very sunny location; a children??™s playground; comfortable rooms tastefuly decorated; a cuisine with flavours and a good choice of wines make for a perfect stay. Whether you are looking for a relaxing holiday, a rambling or a cross-country ski stay, we look forward to spoil you in our cosy 3-star hotel! Minotel offers free accommodation and breakfast for 1 child under 12 years old when sharing a room with 2 adults; other meals are to be paid at the hotel directly. In such a case, the client shall book a double or twin room and add a comment in the "comment box" for an extra bed for a child under 12, and not book a triple room. Two children under 12 traveling with adults (no matter if the adults are staying in a single, double or triple room) will be accommodated in a twin room and pay the price of a double room for single occupancy. The delicious meals prepared by the owner are part of the hotel??™s fame. Just as the saying goes, the way to a man??™s heart is through his stomach. Try our appetizing barbecues. They are our big speciality. Served on a hot soapstone, they come with fresh salad and potato croquettes. A glass of our many, carefully selected wines from the Valais vineyards ideally accompanies our dishes. If the booking is cancelled more than 2 days before the day of arrival, no charge applies. If the booking is cancelled from 2 days before the day of arrival on, the charge will be 100% of the whole stay. In case of no-show, the charge will be 100% of the whole stay. The hotel reserves the right to pre-authorise credit cards prior to arrival. Our Children`s Play Ground Take a break on our terrace while your children are having a frolic on our big playground. In wintertime, kids and parents alike will have so much fun on the great, long toboggan run just behind the hotel. Arrival by car: From Geneva/Lausanne: take the highway N9 until Sierre.

Reckingen is located on the famous Glacier-Express train route which liaises the ski resorts of Zermatt and St-Moritz. Nestled at an altitude of 1`300 meters, Reckingen-Gluringen is a typical and welcoming village in a valley dotted with granaries. The ???Spycher??? called granaries were built on stilts into which a large stone disc was inserted to prevent rodents from getting to the harvest and eating it up. The Goms valley stretches to the Rhone glacier and is part of the Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn area, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The relaxing setting makes for a perfect holiday and allows for great outdoor activities. Total number of rooms: 17 |
