Perched on the edge of the Furka Pass, near the Rhône Glacier, this historic hotel is an iconic symbol of Swiss heritage. However, it's important to note that the hotel closed indefinitely in 2016 due to the effects of climate change on the glacier.

  • Historical Significance: While the hotel is no longer operational, its structure remains a testament to early 20th-century Swiss architecture and tourism.

  • Scenic Drive: The Furka Pass is one of Switzerland's most scenic drives, offering dramatic landscapes and views of the Rhône Glacier.

  • Photography: The hotel's location and backdrop make it a popular spot for photography enthusiasts capturing the essence of the Swiss Alps.

Don’t forget to check out :

The Eisgrotte Belvédère at the Rhone Glacier is a must-visit spot to get up close and personal with a glacier. You can explore the blue ice cave, witness the rapid glacier melt, and enjoy stunning views of the surrounding glacial landscape.
