Faulhorn Mountain Hotel is family-owned and not affiliated with the Swiss Alpine Club SAC. Since we have to pay for all investments and maintenance work from our own pockets, we cannot grant any price reductions to Alpine Club members.

We have no drinking water supply on our mountain. Since we have to use water sparingly, we do not have guest showers. For personal hygiene, cold water is provided.

The dormitory includes a washroom, and the rooms are equipped with nostalgic water jugs and bowls.
