WELLNESS ESCAPE PACKAGE WITH LAET'S MOVE
All the information you need for a rejuvenating break
An idyllic setting in the heart of Valais
Situated half-way between the town of Sierre and the ski resort of Crans-Montana, Diogne is an ideal base to discover the region. Golf courses, hiking trails, bike trails, vineyards, ski slopes and restaurants are all found nearby. However, Diogne is above all a place to relax and enjoy the fresh air. Here, you will experience typical Swiss village life, where time seems to have stood still. Fasten up your walking boots and enjoy the great outdoors directly from our Bed and Breakfast.
OUR GUEST HOUSE
Stay in an old forge equipped with all the mod cons! The latest renovations date back to 2024 for the 4 1/2-room ‘L'Atelier’. It now has 3 warm, spacious bedrooms, all fully renovated and each with its own private bathroom. Now you can choose between a self-contained 2 1/2-room flat for 4 people, a 4 1/2-room flat for 6 people, or just one or two bedrooms. In the whole fully renovated house are 1 to 12 people welcomed ! An authentic and local breakfast will be proposed in your accommodation.









A SHARING STORY
My name is Francine. As a child growing up in Valais, I always dreamed of welcoming visitors to my idyllic village in a charming B&B. The “Forge” belonged to my Uncle Hermann and the first guests came in 2017.
HOMEMADE BREAKFAST, TANTALISE YOUR TASTE BUDS
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! At the “Forge”, we provide fine food, composed of carefully selected local products. Valais is a food lovers paradise… for you to discover.
AT THE HEART OF HIKING TRAILS
The Bisse de Lens, the vineyards trails or the path of "Crans-Montana land of faith" that leads you through the history of Christianity in Valais. For the most experienced, live the way our ancestors used to, dividing their time between the mountain pastures in the summer and the rural villages in the winter. We will be delighted to provide you personalized recommandations.
ENERGIZE YOURSELVES DURING A WEEKEND IN DIOGNE
Enjoy the tranquil village life in Diogne. Nature and calm are the key words. After enjoying breakfast, why not put on your hiking boots and choose one of the three trails on your doorstep? For Golfers, the nearest green is only 2 km away. At noon, discover the local food in local restaurants…. accompanied by local wine: a Muscatel from Ismaël, a Viognier from Jacques, a Pinot noir from Jean-Alexis or a Cornalin from Joël… all local wine growers. And what about a massage at home?
