St. Luc is often referred to by locals as a place of light, because of its special setting and wide panoramas of the Matterhorm, the Dent Blanche, the Pointe de Zinal, the Weisshorn, and more. The Hotel Bella Tola, which dates from 1860, is the recipient of the coveted Swiss Historic Hotel of the Year 2001 award. In this place you can literally feel the breath of tradition. Our Swiss guide, Pascale, promises us a walk through the vineyards above Sierre, complete with wine tasting, a picnic of Swiss specialties which she will prepare for us, and walks that will acquaint us with special flora and fauna of the region. Alpine wildflowers should be at their peak in mid-July.
