The Fondazione Curzùtt - San Barnard was established in 1998 with the aim of reviving the main historic, artistic and scenic testimonies of the "Collina Alta" of Monte Carasso near Bellinzona. The Foundation has furthermore set up a comfortable hostel in order to foster an understanding for and arouse interest in culture and nature by actively including young people. As in most parts of the Ticino, many different eco systems merge together in a tiny area on the Collina Alta of Monte Carasso. The wealth this represents is priceless.
High above the tourist destination of Lauterbrunnen a world, where time seems to have stood still, is revealed. The rustic mountain inn exudes nostalgic charm – without frills.
Luxury comes in many varieties. Luxury of a special kind can be found at Mountain Hotel Obersteinberg in the Upper Lauterbrunnen Valley: no running water, no electricity, but an abundance of romantic and nostalgic atmosphere.
