If you arrive from the North, follow the A2 motorway. We would like to remind you that in Switzerland it is compulsory to have a valid motorway sticker for the current year. You may purchase this sticker at any border station, petrol station and post office for CHF 40 (30 €).
Although our hotel is located in a very quiet pedestrian area, it is possible for our clients to reach the hotel by car and park the vehicle in a comfortable closed parking garage.
If necessary, remove the signpost in the middle of the street at the beginning of the pedestrian area and drive the last 20 meters till you arrive at the entrance door of our garage (behind the hotel). Please ring for service.
Please don't forget to pre-order your personal garage space...
