Hint

Intro

A stay in this hotel becomes a journey through time, because the traditional Hotel Ofenhorn is steeped in history. Rooms, passages and dining room exude the spirit of the Belle Époque, for the original furniture and decorations from the time the hotel was founded still grace the interior spaces. Some of the rooms were renovated to be cosy, while four were lovingly restored as "nostalgic rooms" and are reminiscent of the pioneering days of the hotel industry. Even the restaurant keeps to the traditional with its Valais specialities.

Description

Go back in time and bring to life a story that is over 135 years old. The Hotel "Ofenhorn" was first opened in 1883 and expanded in 1897. According to "Swiss Heritage", the hotel is one of the most beautiful hotels in Switzerland, which is why it has been on the list of "Swiss Historic Hotels" since 2008. The envelope of the building, but also the premises and a large part of the furniture are imbued with the Belle Epoque spirit, as in the time of the pioneers of the hotel industry. Our 30 rooms are arranged in different ways to meet the requirements of each of our guests in terms of comfort. Most of our guest rooms have been renovated or restored according to the rules of art.
