Words from Lötschental

Due to the landslide disaster in Blatten and Ried in the Lötschental, our house, a life's work of several generations, was completely destroyed and buried deep under rubble. 

Our team and our families are all safe. But of course we are all deeply shaken and endlessly sad. We are now taking day by day to realize this situation and to sort ourselves anew. We are supported by many comforting expressions of solidarity and find strength in believing in the future - for the Lötschental and for us. 

We would like to thank you, dear guests, for your many years of “hospitality” and the memories you share with us. Unfortunately, we are currently unable to answer all emails and questions immediately - thank you for your understanding. 

We are happy to recommend other great, owner-managed family businesses in the Swiss Alps for your mountain summer stays. 

With sad but grateful greetings from the Lötschental

News from Blatten/Lötschental.

Since May 15, massive rock movements have been detected on the small Nesthorn. This led to the partial evacuation of the village of Blatten and the hamlet of Ried over the weekend and the total evacuation on Monday. The Wiler-Blatten-Fafleralp valley road is closed. All residents, guests and employees are safe and have been accommodated in the Lötschental. Our hotels are therefore closed until further notice.

As this is an extremely rare natural event, the effects are still unclear. However, the course of the landslide so far gives us hope that it could be mild. In this case, lifting the evacuation would allow operations to resume. In this case, only a small part of the hiking trails would be affected and the tourist offer would not be restricted.

We would ask you to wait before canceling. We will, of course, handle cancellations at short notice free of charge at any time in the event of a longer period. We thank you for your trust and your great solidarity towards our businesses and families.

Please refer to srf.ch or your daily press for the latest information on the event. Further information about our businesses will of course be published here.
