Gmachje – another
outlook on life

Draw strength, experience the nature of the four seasons, slow down, feel the cultural history, listen closely to the sounds, walk barefoot across meadows, discover the power of the mountains, let off steam in the fresh air, let your soul fly, find inspiration … all of this and more is possible with us in Findeln, above the world-renowned mountain resort of Zermatt.

Our Gmachje is open to all who seek this enriching experience. To open the door and feel safe and cared for.

Matterhorn love…
Up and away

Anyone who has seen the Matterhorn cannot fail to be struck by both its majesty and its magic. And there it sits, the mountain of all mountains, right on our doorstep.

Interior decoration – timeless and beautiful

The Gmachje is a private holiday home, located on the sunny side of the alpine lifestyle in every sense. Cosily furnished with style and love, and equipped with everything you could possibly wish for. Surrounded by high alpine charm and prestigious mountain restaurants. Cared for by the host family Aufdenblatten, who are just as passionate about the mountains as you are.

We took a very personal approach to furnishing the three floors of the Gmachje, with the interior decoration shaped by our love of nature and aesthetics. The breathtaking panoramic view of the mountain and valley offers moments of pure happiness, like when you lie in bed and see the bright full moon keep the shooting stars company, or the first rays of sun gently easing you awake to accompany you into a new day of alpine happiness. We decided not to use curtains, preferring to allow unobstructed access to all these little moments of happiness.

Our dearest wish is for friends, seekers of peace and quiet, couples or families to spend time here feeling completely at ease. The rustic charm of our small but exquisite Gmachje is spread over three floors. As a completely accessible design was unfortunately not possible, we would like to point out that there is a somewhat steep staircase in the house, and that the extra beds are reached by a ladder (see photos).
