  • Thanks Alessia. We are international travelers coming from Wenger with luggages. Is it possible to board the bus with the luggages.

    You can sure board your luggages, but if you have many of them I'll recommend to take a taxi. Kind regards Alessia Bottacchi Reception

  • Hi, do you provide free hotel transfer from the train station?

    Good afternoon. Thank you very much for your request. We do not provide free hotel transfer, but there is the bus that stops direct near at our hotel, it costs more or less CHF 4.00. Kind regards Alessia Bottacchi Reception
