Rooms include fleecy bathrobes, special pillows with sheep's wool and pine flakes, and iPads.

Swiss Breakfast Buffet

The hotel serves a rich Swiss breakfast with local products like Bircher muesli, fresh fruits, cheeses, and bread from nearby bakeries. Eggs are prepared to order, and options include gluten-free and vegan dishes. Half-board is available at Molino Select for an additional fee.
