SuizAndina Lodge

Sur Chico


The heavily German-staffed Suizandina is run by a hospitable Swiss-Chilean couple. Cleanliness is next to godliness in the roomy lodgings (fantastic bathrooms) and it's well stocked with wine and miniküchens (sweet German-style cakes). The menu goes all out with excellent Swiss specialties like rösti (hash browns), fondue and raclette (a type of cheese that is melted and poured over potatoes).

There's an emphasis on massages and horseback riding as the owner is a physiotherapist horse lover. A good source for backcountry skiing as well.
