Wellness: Sauna and relaxation rooms

“Nestled in Schwagalp, this three-star superior hotel serves as an inviting base for exploring the Säntis mountain and surrounding area, especially given its proximity to the cable car. While a recent comment notes some potential noise from the street depending on the room's location, the on-site wellness area, featuring a Finnish sauna and steam room, provides a welcome respite after a day of hiking or cycling. Though opinions on the breakfast buffet vary, I think its location makes it suitable for outdoor enthusiasts looking for both relaxation and mountain access.”
