Berggasthaus Mesmer
Small family-run mountain inn at 1613m in the Alpstein, reachable on foot, with Säntis views, rooms and a terrace.
Berggasthaus Mesmer is a small family-run inn perched at 1613 metres in the heart of the Alpstein massif, with the Säntis on the horizon. It can only be reached on foot, via hiking trails that converge here from every direction through remarkable alpine flora. Run by Saskia and Marco Hehli-Aeschbacher, the inn keeps a simple, warm and unpretentious atmosphere typical of the region's mountain guesthouses. In the morning, a modest but carefully prepared breakfast buffet awaits early risers, and the kitchen serves regional specialities throughout the day, enjoyed in the dining room or on the terrace. For those wanting to extend the experience, rooms are available for overnight stays. Mesmer is a popular stop for hikers exploring the Alpstein, blending effort with conviviality.

Location & surroundings
Berggasthaus Mesmer sits high in the Alpstein massif, at 1613 metres, reachable only on foot from Wasserauen or Weissbad via hiking trails known for their alpine flora. The Säntis, the region's highest peak, rises in the background. The spot is a natural stopover for hikers crossing the Alpstein from every direction. There is no road access: walking is the only way to reach the inn, set in an unspoilt high-mountain environment.
