Opening Reception for Jasmine Deporta

Invitation – Opening Reception in the Heart of the Val d’Hérens
The first 2026 artist residency at the cabanotel to an end… We are especially pleased and proud to present the work created over the past few weeks by artist Jasmine Deporta!

This project was born out of a strong desire: to create a dialogue between contemporary art and the authenticity and power of our Alpine heritage.

We invite you to join us for a special evening. The program includes a guided tour of the artwork with the artist, cocktails, and a chance to mingle in the magical setting of Ferpècle.

Practical information:
Date: Friday, June 19, 2026
Time: 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM
Location: At the cabanotel, Ferpècle (Val d’Hérens)

Extend the experience:
A dinner with Jasmine will be held following the opening (limited seating; priority given to residents; reservations required at +41 79 686 50 04).
There are still a few rooms available for that night. Reservations at anakolodge.ch.

A huge thank you to all of our partners, businesses, and local supporters who believe in this project and make this adventure possible. Promoting our regions also starts with culture!

We look forward to welcoming many of you to celebrate art and the mountains.

New in spring 2026

An artist residency at the cabanotel

A sweet dream is coming true... that of offering the cabanotel an artistic residence starting in the summer season of 2026.

The call for applications will be launched at the end of January. The selected artist will be able to stay at the cabanotel a period of 3 weeks to 2 months, in order to develop their project in an inspiring setting, in the heart of the mountains.

Guests at the cabanotel, whether residents or visitors, will have the pleasure of discovering the artist's work and participating in moments of encounter and exchange through events open to the public.
