Rooms: 23 individually designed rooms with Matterhorn views
“Rooms here are individually designed, setting it apart, and many offer Matterhorn views that are simply unforgettable. The wellness area, complete with a spa, adds a layer of relaxation after a day on the slopes or trails. I think its location strikes a perfect balance - nestled in a quiet, car-free area, yet still a short walk to the village center.”
