Why a Booktrail?
2000s: EVERYONE’S IN DANGER. ANYONE COULD BE NEXT.
The Sanatorium
What you need to know before your trail
An imposing, isolated hotel, high up in the Swiss Alps, is the last place Elin Warner wants to be. But she’s taken time off from her job as a detective, so when she receives an invitation out of the blue to celebrate her estranged brother’s recent engagement, she has no choice but to accept.
Arriving in the midst of a threatening storm, Elin immediately feels on edge. Though it’s beautiful, something about the hotel, recently converted from an abandoned sanatorium, makes her nervous – as does her brother, Isaac.
And when they wake the following morning to discover his fiancée Laure has vanished without a trace, Elin’s unease grows. With the storm cutting off access to and from the hotel, the longer Laure stays missing, the more the remaining guests start to panic.
Travel Guide
Discover the mountains and funicular of Crans Montana
CRANS MONTANA
You might not want to go for real after reading this! haha It’s all very realistic and real. The Sommet is the new hotel which is fictional however as is the Sanatorium which used to stand here.
“the hotel’s elegant modern interiors will not only echo the powerful topography outside but will draw on the building’s past to create a new narrative.”
SIERRE
The funicular from the valley town of Sierre to Crans Montana scores a near perfect vertical line up the mountainside.
Slicing through snow-covered vineyards and the small towns of Venthone, Cerhmignon. Mollens, Randogne and Bluche, the route, over four kilometres long, takes passengers over 900 metres up the mountain in just twelve minutes.”
