The Grand Hôtel des Rasses & Wellness hosts seminars, incentives, company evenings and weddings in four rooms and a terrace, for up to 310 people at a time. The three-star hotel dates from the late 19th century and stands at 1,200 meters in the Jura vaudois, canton of Vaud, Switzerland, with 44 rooms and junior suites.
Seminars and company events
The hotel has four seminar rooms, from 12 people in the smallest to 150 in the largest. Most rooms can be reconfigured and are accessible to people with reduced mobility. The package brochure is valid on weekdays, Monday to Friday. A dedicated events manager follows the preparation, and the hotel builds an offer from the organizer's wishes. Free time can use the indoor heated pool with terrace access, the sauna and the mini-golf course, so a full program fits without leaving the grounds.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel organizes weddings, cocktails, birthdays and family parties. The garden hosts the ceremony in fine weather, with a view from Mont Blanc to the Jungfrau. The terrace is used for the cocktail, and in bad weather the lounge and the Chandelier room take over. The reception can be held in the Belle Époque restaurant. The site gives groups of up to 180 seated or 350 for a standing cocktail dinner.
