Cronache di Bex

Bex grew around salt mining and vineyards; its salt mines, worked since 1684, are now a museum. The medieval village core, with its 13th-century tower and cobbled lanes, sits below the Grand Muveran massif. By the 19th century, Bex became a rail junction linking the Rhône valley to the Alps. Today it blends agricultural tradition with a quiet, outdoorsy identity.

Before you check in to La Tsalounâ, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request a room on the higher floors (above the 3rd floor) for a quieter stay, as the hotel's location in Bex, Switzerland, may experience some street noise from the main road.
