Sleeping in the Bären in Gonten
“Heemelig schlafen” (“homey sleeping”), that’s what they say in Appenzell when you sleep very deeply and relaxed – just like in the Bären Gonten. In our 25 rooms, junior suites and family residences, guests bed their heads under an authentic hayloft.
With the feeling that the hay behind the glass is just spilling out, he rests in a comfortable box spring bed. Some of the boutique rooms in the over 400-year-old building still have the original ceiling height of 1.80 metres.
Of course, flat-screen TV, radio, free Internet access, safe and Appenzeller mineral and grander water are part of the basic equipment. A good rucksack is available for the hiker.
Air filter
For each room in our hotel we have organised a Therapy AIR ION air cleaner device that meets the requirements of the ui-lab test mark. This confirms in particular the high separation efficiency of the filter stages used against the smallest particles such as fine dust, bacteria, moulds and viruses. Viruses are mainly those which are transmitted via droplet infections (e.g. SARS-CoV-, Covid 19).

For three nights or more, you will receive the Appenzell Holiday Card at no extra charge. With this card you can use public transport, cable cars, museums and other attractions free of cost.
