You can't miss this main-street hotel, its beautifully weathered wooden facade hung with geranium-filled window boxes and a golden sun emblem. The snug rooms (some with nice views) have comfy beds and loads of pine. The cosy beamed restaurant downstairs serves Swiss specialities (mains Sfr18 to Sfr41). And it's oh so close to the bottom of the Gemsstock cable car.
