The retreat with a railway platform

For this week's nature selection, Hotel Morteratsch offers a useful counterpoint to the detached houses in Issue 003. These are hotel rooms beside the railway, not a whole cabin. The operator divides its 30 rooms between the main house and Al Vadret; the latter has double and four-bed rooms with their own shower and WC.

The distinction matters. A family can choose a simpler room format without taking responsibility for an entire house, while a couple can weigh the main building's Bellavista and Montebello categories. The attraction is the valley setting with a practical means of arrival. It is a different proposition from a retreat whose access consumes a substantial part of the first day.

The hotel advertises free Wi-Fi and a summer season through 25 October 2026. Its room description deliberately dispenses with televisions and telephones. That is an invitation to spend less time in the room, rather than evidence of total digital disconnection.

On Friday 25 September, the local calendar lists the Marronischmaus at the Morteratsch show dairy from 16:30, with chestnuts, music and food. It gives an arrival afternoon a social possibility. Check the selected train's timetable and reserve the room type directly; we have not priced a particular night's stay.
