About us
Hosts in the second generation
In 1972 Georg's parents let the first five guest rooms in the farmhouse above the lake. Andrea and Georg Embacher took over in 2004, extended the house with care and kept the Swiss pine parlour and the old wooden balconies.
Today there are 13 rooms and a holiday apartment, a small sauna with a view of the glacier and a breakfast for which Andrea fetches bread and butter from the village farmer every morning. Their daughter Sophie looks after reception and enquiries.

Guest reviews
What our guests say
„From the balcony straight onto the lake, farm-fresh scrambled eggs in the morning and the sauna with a glacier view at night. Georg's piste tips were worth their weight in gold. We'll book direct again.“
„The family room was big enough for the four of us, and the kids loved the play corner. With the summer card the boat and the cable car were included.“
Pieter V.Summer family holidayReview on Tripadvisor „Warm hosts and a breakfast that keeps you going for hours. The single room on the mountain side is on the small side, but perfectly fine for a hiking week.“
Brigitte S.Autumn hiking weekReview on Google
„A lockable garage, a charging point for the e-bike and a packed lunch in the morning at no extra cost. That is exactly what a guesthouse for cyclists should be.“
