Embracing the Les Roches Legacy: An Interview with Founder Francis Clivaz

In 1954, the Clivaz brothers, Francis and Marcel, embarked on a visionary journey that would ultimately pave the way for generations of future hospitality leaders. Their brainchild, Les Roches, has since become synonymous with excellence, innovation, and a unique way of life. Fast forward to 2022, and we find ourselves at the heart of an inspiring reunion, where the very essence of Les Roches was celebrated in Crans Montana. 

During this event, our esteemed director and an alumnus himself, Mano Soler, had the privilege of sitting down with none other than Mr. Francis Clivaz himself.

In this exclusive interview, we delve into the roots of Les Roches, gaining invaluable insights from one of the brilliant minds behind its creation. Mr. Clivaz's words resonate deeply with the vibrant Les Roches community, offering a profound connection to the institution's founding principles.

We're thrilled to present the video interview above, capturing the essence of this memorable event. As you watch, let the passion and dedication of our founder rekindle your own commitment to the Les Roches Way of Life.
