My Family (2 Adults - 2 Children) stayed two nights in the Hotel Alpina. The owner and his family provided us with a wonderful room with a loft for the kids. The room was super clean and the meals were excellent and very reasonably priced. Herr Hari and his wife attended to all of our needs and we would certainly... More

We stopped here in the summer for a night and the owner was welcoming. The rooms are a little small, but this is typical of a Swiss mountain area. The price was a little high, but again, this is typical of Switzerland which is not a cheap country by any means, and is probably more symptomatic of the weak british... More

A friend and I stayed in Hotel Alpina in the 2nd week of Sept, had mostly wonderful weather. The owners were very friendly and helpful, giving advice on hiking trails, etc. and made us feel at home. We had "half-pension" (fixed menu dinners) in addition to the buffet breakfast, which was very good and plentiful. The dinners were very good,... More

A pleasant return visit to this family run hotel towards the edge of the village, but under a 10 minute stroll from the village centre. Quiet with stunning mountain views from the room's balcony. Filling evening meals available when booked in advance. Eat as much as you like continental breakfast. Hotel favoured by hikers and walkers.

This was our first hotel on our walking trip. It is located on the main road, right at the entrance of the village, which is not so big at all. In the reception they had a large selection of brochures about the area.The room was rather small, but had what we needed, the bed too soft for me. A nice... More

We stayed at the Alpina this summer having stayed here previously with our children in winter. We were not disappointed - the owners run a wonderfully friendly and welcoming hotel, the food is great and the highlight of the week is the Farmers' Buffet on Thursday night which includes traditional music, playing the spoons (!) and occasionally even broomsticks.
