"This is not a hotel. This is not a mountain hut. This is something better. This is the friendliest place you'll stay in Switzerland."

Trip Advisor review August 2012

 We are very fortunate to receive many fantasic reviews, which have resulted in us winning the Trip Advisor Travellers choice award for 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017.  We are also rated by Airbnb as "Superhosts". It is true, we aren't a hotel, or a mountain hut, we aren't a purpose built B&B or a restaurant with rooms to let ............. this is our amily home into which we welcome you.  A tradition that was first recorded in Kandersteg in 1658 as travellers rested in private homes before their trip across the Alps via the Gemmi Pass.

Below are detailed descriptions of the accommodation that we offer you today and photos of each room.  Every room is unique and has its own special features.

The Hayloft - Group room - sleeps up to six

The Hayloft group/family room is a thoughtful conversion of the original two-storey part of the house that was literally used to store the hay feed for the over-wintering of animals.  It has been lovingly restored using original timber and converted, it is now comfortable open plan accommodation for six persons, split on two levels.   An external access door ensures privacy from the main house.

  Can there be anything more relaxing after a hard day skiing or hiking than to return to warm, bubbly water?  Spend a while relaxing and taking in the view, or maybe a romantic candle lit dip to watch the stars!
