Sorebois (Corne de)

A few kilometres from Vissoie, the Anniviers Valley splits into two branches, becoming the Zinal Valley to the east and the Moiry Valley to the west. Between the two lies the Sorebois Horn, which rises to 2895m.

Below the summit, at an altitude of 2700m, is the Espace Weisshorn, the top station of the Grimentz and Zinal cable cars.

As its name suggests, it offers views of the Weisshorn and the surrounding peaks. The Weisshorn rises to 4506m and separates the Mattertal (Zermatt Valley) from the Val d'Anniviers.

The Espace Weisshorn houses a gourmet restaurant that can be hired for events such as seminars, banquets and weddings.

The roof of the building, which is also accessible when the restaurant is not open to the public, forms a large terrace with a bar and an uninterrupted view of the "Couronne Impériale" (Imperial Crown), the nickname given to the 4000m peaks above Zinal.

You can see the Bishorn (4153m), the Weisshorn (4506m) and the Zinalrothorn (4221m), among other spectacular peaks.
