If you are interested in a characteristic Swiss superb hiking trip, then you have to choice the cosy Hayloft accommodation in the middle of green untouched fields. From the Loft you can directly go straight forward to the top of the amazing mountains outskirt. Thx Kerry, Peter, James + Snorkel and Anchor (four legged friends)

If you are looking for a homely feeling away from home, then look no further! Wonderful and very welcoming family, beautiful eco-friendly accommodation, picturesque surrounding, diverse breakfast. I travelled alone but I didn't feel alone while staying at the Hayloft.

We live in Switzerland and have experience of various types of accommodation. Without the help of an Alastair Sawday guide, it is not always easy to find THE right b&b that ticks all the boxes...The Hayloft does! It is a picture postcard chalet, truly cosy, very comfortable (you'll never feel cold or damp in the winter...even though we went at... More

The children loved playing in the cosy "Hayloft" room or around the house, the adults enjoyed listening to the interesting stories about the life of Kerry, Peter and their... More

You know when you meet people who love what they do because they are exceptional at it, well Kerry and Peter, the owners of the Hayloft are excalty those types of people. The Hayloft is more than a B&B, they have created a home away from home atmosphere. Breakfasts are bountiful and delicious! Expect a leisurely breakfast with charming hosts.... More

If you need a flatscreen TV or a bar fridge in your room then this might not be the place for you. Come here though and the wonderful scenery starts with the view from any window in the house. The Hayloft is a beautifully restored/rebuilt Swiss farmhouse, just far enough out of the village to be in an open field... More

The breakfast is a special experience together with the owners at the big table in the kitchen with all delicious, local food. The location is a perfect start for different hikes or cable... More

The Hayloft is 1200m above sea level, south-facing and stands in about two acres of its own meadowland. The property is bordered by a trout stream and is very quiet; it has its own private access track and there is NO passing traffic. The house boasts stunning mountain views (over 3,600m) in every direction, clear views of glaciers and a magnificent waterfall.

The village has all the expected range of facilities without losing its unique Swiss atmosphere. ... more   less
