This little hotel is a charmer; reasonable rates, clean and comfortable rooms, generous breakfast and an interesting and helpful host. We had a nice balcony with a view to the surrounding mountains. Herr and Frau Hari are very attentive in the dining room, making sure one has all one needs. We had the prix fix dinner one evening and it... 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.

We booked the Hotel Alpina through the hostel.world website when we were touring Europe and got a great price. The hotel is only 7-10 minute walk (at the most) from the train station, and is such a pretty log cabin style building! The owners are really lovely, Hermann was a great host, full of local knowledge. Great view from the... More

The Alpina was great for our family of 4. We had a room with a loft, and the kids went up a ladder to the loft. It made me a little nervous for the kids to be up there (ages 10 and 13), even though there was a railing, but they were fine. The room was very clean and simple,... More
