POWER RESTORATION NEAR HISTORIC MOUNTAIN PASSES

Between imposing granite walls and reflecting mountain lakes, the Grimsel hotels allow visitors to fully restore their energies in blissful seclusion.

Formerly home to the historical ‘Säumer’ traders who would use the Grimsel and Susten passes to carry goods to Italy on foot, the region is nowadays mostly known for its breathtaking landscape marked by 13 water-power stations generating electricity for one million citizens.

Markus and Marianne Meier have been co-running the Grimselwelt hotels since 2019. Their guest list includes those looking to recharge within a peaceful environment, as well as companies seeking the perfect spot for a business retreat. Many guests also enjoy a thrilling visit to the Spitallamm dam wall construction site, or a guided tour through the state-of-the-art power stations.

Situated just above a reservoir lake, the picturesque ‘Grimsel Hospice’ invites people to participate in winter retreats in complete seclusion, as well as being an inspiring place for a summer holiday. The resort hotel Handeck mainly attracts families, as well as sports and nature enthusiasts, with its vast choice of outdoors activities and a real farm holiday feel.

Swiss Location Award

Guest service and sustainable tourism are key to the ISO certified Grimselwelt operations and the Grimsel hotels have been voted one of the best Swiss event and culinary locations in both 2021 and 2022.

As a unique symbiosis between nature and astonishing technology, the Grimselwelt landscape allows a complete recharge of the batteries – in whichever way you prefer to do it.
