Artists and meetings: André Georges

The Val d'Hérens has always inspired artists and intellectuals of all kinds. The Grand Hôtel & Kurhaus is no exception to the rule. It can be found in the drawings of Cosey in his journey in search of Peter Pan. Its historic salon has welcomed great names, including Joséphine Baker in the winter of 1968.



Born in La Sage, André Georges is a mountaineer and mountain guide with a vertiginous career. He has climbed nine of the fourteen eight thousand meters of the planet. In the winter of 1985, he crossed 41 summits, 33 of which exceeded 4,000 meters, in the company of the mountaineer Ehrard Loretan. His passion for the mountains has led him today to wield the brush to make us discover through his eyes the majestic scenery of the region. Come and discover his works between the walls of the Grand Hotel & Kurhaus during the winter of 2022.
