Your Stay
We are staying at a wonderful historic holiday home which is located at the foot of the Alpstein and is surrounded by a private forest and a big meadow. Overlooking green hills, we will be training in a spacious training hall which is completely covered with tatami mats. In addition to the training facilities and nature, the house offers a chill-out room with table tennis, mini-foot and other games. For the whole retreat we will have the house to ourselves.
Our beautiful and cozy accommodation can host 50 people in 11 different rooms (29 bunk beds and 1 single bed). High-quality mattresses, Nordic duvets with pillows, and freshly laundered bed linen ensure an optimal sleeping environment. We also provide a bath towel for each guest. We have a spacious and rustic dining hall with beautiful view over the Urnäsch valley.
Three times a day we will tickle your palate with vegetarian and vegan delights made by our local chef. We do our best to serve up fresh, seasonal goodies straight from the area—because local is love, right? The cherry on top? Cheese and milk from the farm next door! But don’t worry, vegans and gluten-free folks, we’ve got you covered with plenty of healthy (and equally tasty) options!
