Philippe Zurkirchen and Sophie Zurkirchen – the Chameleon and the Wonderwoman. In entrepreneurship, we simply get it done.
As multi-entrepreneurs in the shop, event, hospitality and tourism industry, we’ve managed, bukld or refurbished and boosted hotels, escape games and concept stores — while also raising three boys (our ultimate challenge!).
With a deep passion for tourism, we understand the daily struggles entrepreneurs face — we’ve lived them too. From EHL hospitality training to 18+ years of hands-on leadership across eight companies, we’ve learned how to turn complexity into clarity.
We know what it’s like to be 300% invested in your business. That’s why we offer pragmatic, human-centred solutions — grounded in real-world experience.
Whether you seek strategic support or creative input, we bring broad, cross-functional expertise to help you grow, simplify, and thrive.
This is what we can be for you.
From boxing, a sparring partner takes the hits to make you stronger. We’re here to challenge you, ask the hard questions, and help you channel your energy toward what truly matters.
We get things done. You’ve got a project? We plan it, manage it, and deliver — on time, on budget, no excuses.
Need a neutral, experienced voice at the table? We step in as board members to guide decisions, oversee strategy, and strengthen your governance — business, nonprofit, or public sector.
From sports to business, a coach pushes you to grow. In hospitality, we coach you to lead with heart — because smiles and warmth are the real keys to success.

EXPERTISE – OPTIMIZATION DOMAINS
“For me, the Beau-Séjour isn’t just a hotel — it’s a home away from home.
Run by the warm-hearted Sophie and Philippe,
it feels more like a family guesthouse than a hotel.
You can relax for hours in the little library, or even imagine being joyfully ‘confined’ for weeks.
Every time I visit, I feel restored. I always look forward to coming back.”
OLIVIER DE BENOIST
French Comedian
“Beau-Séjour is cocooning at its finest.
It’s the art of detail—with a capital D.
Sophie, Philippe and their family pamper their guests
in a way that is incredibly rare and deeply touching.
I love coming up here to recharge, disconnect… and reconnect.”
MARTINE CORTHÉSY
Executive Coach & Neurodiversity Specialist
“To me, Beau-Séjour is… the best hotel in the world!
Well, okay… in Switzerland. Or at least in the Valais.
Alright, fine: best hotel at the end of the village of Champéry! 😉
And now with a spa? No more hesitation! Love you guys. Smack!”
JEAN-LUC BARBEZAT
Swiss Comedian
“Philippe’s coaching came at a time of doubt and questioning.
I needed clarity, structure, and a space to reflect on my goals.
He helped me reconnect with what I’d already achieved and gently realign my vision.
His calm and kind presence opened new perspectives.
If you’re looking for a reset, he’ll help you see what you’re missing—even if you don’t yet know what that is.”
GAÏDIC LEGALL
Entrepreneur & Personal Coach
“I don’t know where you’ll spend your next holidays,
but I’ll definitely be at Beau-Séjour this summer.
It’s my favorite spot in Champéry—the welcome is divine,
Sophie and Philippe always surprise us with apéros and warm smiles.
Now there’s even a spa, and the hotel is getting a glow-up!
Can’t wait to see you there. Big kisses! ❤️”
CHRISTELLE CHOLLET
French Actress & Comedian
“The Beau-Séjour Hotel, to me, is first and foremost about Sophie and Philippe.
They’ve filled this place with love, modern comfort, and an Alpine soul that fits perfectly with Champéry.
I discovered it through my love for boutique hotels—but this is more than that.
It’s cosy, serene, and feels like a peaceful retreat. A true cocoon.”
