Our take
This guesthouse is perfect for skiers and couples who appreciate traditional alpine charm and proximity to the slopes. Its location, just 500 metres from the Sellamatt Ski Lift, is a major draw, allowing for quick access to the mountain. The traditional decor and on-site restaurant serving Swiss cuisine enhance the authentic experience. While it offers free Wi-Fi in public areas, those requiring high-speed internet in their rooms might find it less ideal. However, for a genuine, unpretentious ski holiday with beautiful mountain views, Gasthaus Schäfli is an excellent choice.
- Walk to the Sellamatt Ski Lift in the mornings, it's just a few minutes away for quick slope access.
- Dine at the guesthouse restaurant to experience authentic classic Swiss cuisine.
- Request a room with a balcony to fully enjoy the striking views of the Churfirsten Mountain Range.

Why guests love itGasthaus Schäfli is a traditional guesthouse just 500 metres from the Sellamatt lift, so we were on the slopes early without any fuss. Our room looked out at the Churfirsten range, a view we never tired of. The alpine decor felt authentic, and dinners of classic Swiss dishes in the restaurant were hearty and satisfying. Free on-site parking and Wi-Fi in public areas covered the basics. Simple, genuine and good value.
