For hikers

Hiking from the door

In summer, several beautiful hikes start right at the chalet. Braunwald is one big adventure playground, completely undisturbed by car traffic: hiking, climbing, scootering, paragliding, a romantic carriage ride, or simply watching the sunrise. And afterwards the chalet is your own base in the Swiss Alps.

  • Large sunny balcony and garden
