Swiss Army

Welcome to the first ever "fortress-hotel" in Switzerland! This once top secret Artillery Fortress hidden away in the depths of Mt. Rigi is now open to the public for guided tours and overnight accommodation.

Use your own sleeping bag or hire an original Swiss army sleeping bag at the fortress. How about sleeping in military style with linen sheets and a blanket decorated with the Swiss Cross? No problem, make your choice when booking your stay. There are various dormitories to choose from according to your groups requirements. Modern showers and washrooms are available. Only groups can stay overnight in the fortress.
