Hotel du Col de Fenêtre

The place

In the Swiss Val Ferret above La Fouly, on the descent from the Grand Col Ferret. A family hotel with a restaurant, close enough to the village for convenience and far enough out to be quieter than it.

Useful in a specific situation: you have come the whole way from Arnouvaz or Elena over the col, it is a long day, and the village below is fully booked — which in high season it frequently is, because La Fouly is small and the Tour is not. Stopping here shaves the last stretch off. It sells through the Tour portal, so the planner will show you whether it has beds on your date, which for a place this size is more useful than for most.

Getting there

Booking
