The Mayen
A place to disconnect and reconnect.
A place to disconnect and reconnect.
While you can reach the Mayen by car, you can also leave your car in Riddes, take the cable car up, and reach it on foot from Isérables (1h30 to 2h00 walk), so that the ascent to the mayen becomes part of the experience too. Up there, you will find yourselves again, and you will also rediscover Pierre’s creations, in simple and traditional dishes to cook as you wish.
Why 1842?
1842 is the year the original mayen was built. A mayen passed down from generation to generation in Delphine’s family. A timeless place.
