And when you're not drinking whisky, what else can you do in Valais?

[Vanessa Martin Randin]

Once again it may appear that all M. and I do is consume large amounts of alcohol when we go away for the weekend. So besides visiting Swhisky, what else can you do in the region of Ardon and where can you stay to get to it all?

PLACE TO STAY:

La Petite Cigale

This Bed ‘n’ Breakfast has earned every one of its four stars. Rarely have I stayed somewhere where the owners have paid such close attention to detail, down to the way they lay the table at breakfast. Emmanuela and Claude Rebord run La Petite Cigale (‘The Little Cicada’) with an efficiency and ease that is surprising, given that their business has been up and running for only a short while.

Each corner of their house is decorated to a high standard. And it’s pleasing to feel that relaxed as you walk in through their front door. They also have a dedicated welcome service for their visitors, in the form of Merlin their dog! Even the hardest heart won’t be able to resist the charms of their four legged companion!

The lovely Merlin! (©MRandin)
