Braunwaldbahn - The Braunwald funicular

A dedicated funicular railway starts from Linthal, which you can take to the car-free Braunwald. It takes only seven minutes, and you are in the peaceful land of Bartli, the dwarf, where life slows down, and your adventure starts between the mighty rocks of the Glarus Mountains.

Märchenhotel

The resort town is situated in the Glarus Alps, overlooking the Linthal Valley from a 1,995-foot (605-meter) height.

Märchenhotel Covered in Snow During Winter

It's snow-covered around the hotel's building for the good part of winter, but this doesn't stop the wave of outdoor activities you can have in this beautiful region.


How about a ride on a Toboggan? This traditional sled used to transport goods and people, but today, it's for the pure fun of sliding down the mountain hills.

Märchenhotel Reception with a Slide

A traditional-looking reception awaits you until you notice the slide poking through the next floor's ceiling.

Märchenhotel Restaurant

The hotel's dining room all looks regular, with a delicious five-course dinner and an elegant setting overlooking the mountains... until you spot the artificial cow at the breakfast buffet's corner.

Artificial cow with milk machine built in its udder

The weirdly bizarre cow however is "fully functional" with its udder providing fresh milk for your muesli.

Märchenhotel Food Delivery by a Locomotive

Then there is "Switzerland's second coolest dining place for kids" (wonder why it isn't the first!), with a large kids train delivering the tasty snacks on its wagons.

Märchenhotel Dining Room Spectacle

The dining room can turn into a spectacle putting some of the circuses to shame with video projections and levitating benches.

Märchenhotel Slide

Are you looking to spend some quality time with your partner without the kids? Enjoy the whirlpool and the sauna on the rooftop terrace overlooking the magical Swiss Alpine views without the little ones nagging you? The hotel provides an up-to 12 hours per day of child care.
