OUR HISTORY
A house of tradition filled with stories
The hotel Madrisa has seen wonderful as well as fateful years. From the old tavern “Rössli” and the Art Nouveau architecture to today’s hotel, it has been an eventful journey. Skiing instructors, academics, globetrotters, mountain lovers and writers – many people made history here. Strong women have always shaped and guided the vision of the house – even back then, as well as today. Open-minded hoteliers worked day and night with vision and diligence. Pioneers devoted themselves to the idea of sustainability. Painful experiences from loss, war and the forces of nature are as much part of the heritage as joyful moments, ground-breaking ceremonies and celebrations. The passion for all things aesthetic brought music, literature and art into the house. What connected hotel Madrisa with all these times, however, was and is the family. They are the community, the invisible bond, that has been keeping it all together – for the past 100 years and for the future days to come.

Today, we are passionate hosts in the 4th generation
Hospitality, openness to the world, and the common good – these are the roots of Hotel Madrisa. Those who have been here once are happy to return. For four generations, we have managed this partly heritage-protected house with heart and mind. Even our ancestors turned their profession into a calling, and we continue this tradition today.
