Too grand for comfort? Do take a second look! A first glance will hardly reveal the cheerful nonchalance behind the daunting façade; the preference for understated comfort over pomp and splendour; the un-Swiss emphasis on letting you live according to your own ideas; the deliberate family orientation; the very intense, if unobtrusive day-to-day involvement of the owners. It is precisely this unusual combination of grandeur and relaxed friendliness that makes this hotel so special. Everything you expect from a big hotel... and more! An indoor tennis court. Our own, hiking guide. Free day-care for children. A varied cultural programme. A resident classical trio. Free bus passes. And, in summer, free travel on all cable cars.
