Surrounding area:
The hotel is located in peaceful surroundings with no buildings and a beautiful
view of the mountain scenery. The bus station Lehn is nearby. Our flowery
garden with a pond, children’s playground, sunbathing area and sun terrace
invites you to unwind in the summer.
Our
establishment has direct access to more than 160 km long ski slopes of all
levels of difficulty in a unique Alpine panorama in winter. Both beginners and
experienced skiers will have great fun in an exceptional, sunny mountain area
where deep snow is guaranteed (up to a height of 3600 m), amidst the high Alps.
In the
summer the hotel is the ideal starting point from which to make 350 km long
walking tours in this unique mountain panorama. Popular health resorts such as Locarno and Ascona in the Ticino
canton are on the same line of latitude. Despite this high alpine setting the
climate here is mild and well-balanced, which is proven by the uncommon height
of the forest border as well as the abundant, glorious alpine flora.
There are
many destinations in the surroundings which are easily accessible by car:
Zermatt (39 km), Matterhorn, Gornergrat, Klein-Matterhorn, Saas-Fee (7 km),
Saas-Grund (4 km), the dam Mattmark (6 km) or the Aletsch Glacier, the
longest glacier in Europe.
