"If you love hiking, this place is must to visit! Can be a challenge thou... You can try Via Ferrara in the summer. In the winter you can ski there, not so bad if there is enough snow."

"No filter photo: amazing place to hike for beginners. Especially the first 400 meters from 1100 to 2500. Starting from here, the climb from 1500 to 2000 meters to the "top of Moleson" can be a bit tricky for people who sport less than once per week or for someone just recovering from a light to medium medical operation. For experienced hikers, you can even take the ferrate climbing route."

"With a group of 9 people I spent two nights at Plan-Francey during New Year's 2017. We really enjoyed our stay there, especially because of the stunning location, the warm hospitality and the helpfulness of the staff. We ended up even having our own private ride with the cable car up to the mountain! Plan-Francey, see you soon again I hope! :-)"

"Very nice view from up there on the mountain although it was freezing today. I went with Pupsi which is an international known snowboarder from Zurich! The piece was not at this bad state it was a little bit dead in the world if you rocks because it has not been snowing recently. But the bottle was very nice I have my beers there to tell you the truth and I enjoyed the view."

"The Sunday brunch at Plan-Francey is one of my family's favourite outings in the area and an activity we try to do at least once a season. The ingredients are always of excellent quality and the kitchen seems to come out with new dishes each time we go. There are a number of routes on the way up and down plus there is also the option of taking a cable car up."

"We were the only guests there and it was very peaceful! We were surprised to see a small herd of goats graze through the patio. We watched the sun set on the mountain, had some brews, and enjoyed the solitude."
