The small village of Weissenberge ("white mountains") is nestled on a secluded mountain terrace, 4000 feet above sea level, in the heart of Switzerland. Our mountain resort Edelwyss is your exclusive little hideaway. Situated on the most beautiful place on earth, the family operated house offers only 3 double rooms with sweeping views to the steep valleys and snow-topped mountains. Hiking trails for your own explorations are at your doorstep. Enjoy the walks along the mountains in a paradise of wild flowers, with the faint melody of cowbells ringing from far away.

Weissenberge prides itself with having a remote location and peaceful, romantic ambiance. Your Weissenberge accommodations do not include televisions, stereos, or phones, so there is nothing to distract you from enjoying the peace and silence, the leisurely mornings, stunning weather changes, and one another.

Weissenberge truly means "white mountains", but do not worry about some other strange translations that Google may give from our homepage... We are not that strange.
