The Schweizerhof is a family-run Garni hotel located in Mels, in the St. Gallen Sarganserland region, close to the Pizol and Flumserberge skiing and hiking areas. The property offers 12 rustic rooms, eight doubles and four singles, all lift-accessible and fitted with a private bathroom with shower or bathtub, a TV, a radio, a safe, a minibar and free Wi-Fi; all rooms are non-smoking. Being a Garni property, the hotel focuses on accommodation and breakfast rather than full dining service. At the time of writing, the official website shows the property as temporarily closed; the information above reflects the hotel's usual set-up before this closure. Its location in the Sarganserland makes it a convenient base for exploring the mountains of eastern Switzerland, not far from the Liechtenstein border.
The Schweizerhof is located in Mels, a small town in the Sarganserland, eastern Switzerland, at the crossroads of the valleys leading to the Pizol and Flumserberge, two well-known skiing and hiking areas. The region is crossed by the Rhine and lies about 30 km from Liechtenstein. The nearest airport is Sankt Gallen-Altenrhein, about 50 km away. Gutenberg Castle, in Liechtenstein, can be seen a few kilometres to the east, and the Rhine valley railway stations make it easy to reach Sargans and Bad Ragaz.
