Panoramahotel Braunwald: wooden shingle façade with panorama lettering against the snow-capped Glarus Alps

About us

Opened October 2025.

The story

A long story continues.

Where the Panoramahotel stands today, the story of tourism in Braunwald began. In 1907, with the opening of the funicular, the Hotel Alpenblick was built here, one of the first houses in the village. For more than a century it was the first house to greet guests arriving in Braunwald, until a fire destroyed the traditional hotel in 2009.

With the Panoramahotel, this story continues: in the same place, with a new house, as the next chapter of a long tradition of hospitality. A business carried by a team that fills this house with life.

What we believe

Four principles that decide everything.

01 Local over loud Alpine cheese from Braunwald, bread from the region, linen from Engi. Short distances instead of long transports.
02 Clear, not complicated Honest prices, clear services, no hidden surcharges for rest.
03 Quiet as a service Car-free, compact, with no programme pushing you along. What remains is time.
04 People over process A team that has found its place up here and looks after guests personally.

The team

The people behind the Panorama.

You can see the mountains from every balcony. What makes a house warm is the people inside: the voice that greets you by name in the morning, the hand that brings your coffee just the way you like it. And at midday we all sit down at one table and eat the same food that is cooked for our guests, like a family. Because up here, we truly are a family.

You can feel it when people love being here. That is exactly what you should feel with us, from the first hello to the last evening: you are not staying at a hotel. You are staying with people.

The story

A long story
continues.

Where the Panoramahotel stands today, the story of tourism in Braunwald began. In 1907, with the opening of the funicular, the Hotel Alpenblick was built here, one of the first houses in the village.

For more than a century it was the first house to greet guests arriving in Braunwald, until a fire destroyed the traditional hotel in 2009.

With the Panoramahotel, this story continues: in the same place, with a new house, as the next chapter of a long tradition of hospitality.

What we believe

Four principles
that decide everything.

01

Local over loud

The alpine cheese from Braunwald. The farmhouse bread from Glarus. The oiled oak floors underfoot. We don’t buy the best, we buy the right thing.

02

Less, but good

32 rooms and three suites, no mass tourism. We want you to arrive here and switch off.

03

Honestly priced

We use no dynamic pricing that takes advantage of you. Booking direct is, thanks to our best-price guarantee, consistently cheaper than any platform.

04

With the region

We buy from Glarus suppliers and employ Glarus staff. Here, everyone profits.

You can see the mountains from every balcony. What makes a house warm is the people inside.

You can feel it when people love being here. That is exactly what you should feel with us, from the first hello to the last evening: you are not staying at a hotel. You are staying with people.
