About La Forge de Diogne
Live in an Old Forge
A restored piece of Valais heritage, shaped into a warm and peaceful place to stay in the mountains.
Welcome to La Forge de Diogne
A House with a Story
La Forge de Diogne is more than a place to stay. It is a former family forge, carefully restored while preserving the stone, timber and character that give the house its identity.
Set in the quiet hamlet of Diogne, between Sierre and Crans-Montana, the house brings together the history of the building with simple, contemporary comfort. It is a place created for slowing down, sharing good moments and discovering the Valais at a gentler pace.
Rooted in Diogne
At around 1,000 metres above sea level, Diogne is a small village surrounded by vineyards, mountain peaks and the landscapes of the Rhône Valley. Its quiet character is part of what makes a stay at La Forge different.
Here, the mountains are close, but so are the details of everyday Valais life: old villages, local vineyards, seasonal food and the people who give the region its character.

A Story of Returning Home
“I was born and raised in Valais, surrounded by vineyards and the rhythm of family life. Later, I moved to Paris to study and spent an important part of my life away from the mountains.”
With time, I understood how deeply my roots had stayed with me. Returning to Valais became a way of reconnecting with that heritage — and of giving this old forge a new life.
Today, I welcome guests to La Forge de Diogne with the same values that shaped my own upbringing: warmth, simplicity, generosity and a genuine connection to the place.

From Family Forge to La Forge de Diogne
The restoration was guided by one simple idea: preserve what makes the building special while creating a comfortable home for today.
Original materials and architectural details remain part of the experience, complemented by contemporary interiors, natural light and carefully chosen details. The result is neither a museum nor a conventional hotel — it is a living home with a history.
