This is the secret side of Switzerland you won't find in the guidebooks. 🏔️✨
Some places are not simply visited—they are experienced slowly. Discover a unique way to travel by staying inside centuries-old Swiss monasteries, where ancient history meets breathtaking alpine nature.
Here are three unforgettable ways to step away from the crowds:
🌿 Convento Santa Maria, Bigorio
Retreat to one of Switzerland’s oldest Capuchin convents. Perched peacefully above Ticino, you'll sleep in historic monastic cells surrounded by lush chestnut forests and tranquil terraced gardens.
❄️ Grand-Saint-Bernard Hospice
Experience legendary alpine hospitality at 2,473 metres. Stay in a centuries-old mountain hospice, share hearty meals with fellow travellers, and meet the famous Saint Bernard dogs in the summer months.
🏰 Kloster Disentis, Graubünden
Enjoy four-star comfort within the grand walls of a 1,400-year-old Benedictine monastery, waking up to panoramic views of the soaring Grisons mountains.
If you are ready to slow down and experience the true, peaceful soul of Switzerland, these stays are calling your name.
