Im historischen Ritterdorf

Switzerland-3942 Niedergesteln
Our picturesque Valais village is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its origins date back to 1125, and in 2025, we'll be celebrating Niedergesteln's 900th anniversary. The castle overlooking the village is a significant testament to Niedergesteln's rich history. In our 1400m² garden, located in the heart of the village yet wonderfully secluded, you'll discover countless nooks and crannies perfect for relaxing and unwinding. In autumn and spring, a charming group of alpacas resides in a section of the garden. You'll have your own private toilet and fresh water available at the fountain. In case of bad weather or if needed, and when the alpacas are not present, you can use their stable for storage or shelter. In the immediate vicinity, you can climb the castle and cross the castle rock through the Ice Age cave (Feschtiloch), explore the impressive Joli Gorge, and discover other fascinating sights. Numerous 'Suonen' (historic irrigation channels) trails, hiking paths, and biking routes nearby invite you to an active and rejuvenating getaway.

Lovingly decorated pitch, private toilet, friendly host, we were allowed to help ourselves to the tomatoes, which tasted great.
Beautiful inviting garden. Very private. Great knight's castle.
A wonderfully prepared little spot. Everything very clean and it worked out just as agreed. Thank you for letting us stay with you☺️
Very cozy location, beautifully decorated, with llamas as evening companions. The toilets are very clean, with wipes and paper provided. A pity that for the price, a shower wouldn't go amiss.
Beautiful site, toilet was very modern and clean. Everything was great
We absolutely loved our stay in Richard’s beautiful garden. It felt like such a special, peaceful escape. We spent the afternoon reading in the shade while watching the alpacas wander around, which was honestly magical. Having the entire garden to ourselves made it feel so private and relaxing. This was one of those places you don’t forget, and if we ever pass through Niedergesteln again, we would stay here again in a heartbeat.
