Hotel Rofflaschlucht, Mountain hotel and restaurant at Rofla Gorge, Switzerland
Description
Hotel Rofflaschlucht is a mountain lodge at the entrance of Rofla Gorge, featuring views of waterfalls and rock formations along the Rhine River. The building offers accommodation and dining in this geologically dramatic setting.
History
The hotel's foundation dates to when owner Christian Pitschen-Melchior hand-drilled 10,000 holes into rock walls between 1907 and 1914. This labor opened the gorge to visitors for the first time and established the site as a tourist destination.
Culture
The establishment embodies traditional Swiss hospitality, serving regional cuisine featuring trout sourced from nearby mountain streams. Guests enjoy local specialties while dining with views of the gorge surrounding them.
Practical
The hotel provides direct access to hiking trails connecting to the Splügen and San Bernardino mountain passes. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear since the trails and gorge galleries feature uneven surfaces.
Did you know?
Visitors can walk through tunnels carved into rock walls to reach viewing platforms positioned directly beneath cascading waterfalls. These narrow passages offer an intimate proximity to the falling water and create an unforgettable experience.
