09.07.2020

We have used the travel-free time to create a ranking of the best Hotelcard partnerhotels for you. In addition to hotelcard-relevant criteria such as availability and price quality, guest feedback from the TrustYou platform was also included in the evaluation. We are very pleased to present you our Top 20 during the next weeks. ?
As the big surprise winner, Hotel Capricorns in charming little Wergenstein made it to the top of our ranking and is therefore the best Hotelcard-Hotel 2020!

Get to know the best rated Hotelcard-Hotel
Our winning hotel is located in the middle of the beautiful Beverin Nature Park surrounded by the breathtaking Grisons mountains. The historic building from the 1930s was renovated in 2011. During the renovation work, special attention was paid to enhancing the building without losing the charm of the 1930s.

Style and class in the rooms
The rooms, which are clad in wood, provide a warm and homely atmosphere in the alpine mountain world. Uncomplicated and stylishly furnished, with a wonderful view, the rooms invite you to relax after a rousing day in the mountains.

Sustainability in the Center da Capricorns
In the course of the renovation work, the entire Capricorns was completely converted to renewable energy sources: geothermal energy and electricity from domestic hydroelectric sources. The Center da Capricorns also houses the ZHAW Research Group for Tourism and Sustainable Development.

Multiple awarded cuisine
Culinary delights are guaranteed in Capricorns. The cuisine has been awarded 13 Gault Millau points. The love of the region is the central theme of the menu.

Insider tips from our CEO
Our managing director Claudio Grisch was at first surprised about the winner, but in the end he was delighted. As a man who grew up in Grisons, he has already made many trips to the area. In the following he reveals his two personal insider tips for Wergenstein, the Schamsertal and Averstal.
In only 30 minutes by car you can reach Lago di Lei through the beautiful Averstal. The reservoir is almost 8 km long and located almost completely in Italy. Only the dam wall, which is over 140 metres high, and the access tunnel are located in Switzerland. Be sure to make a stopover at the Rifugio Baita del Capriolo. It is almost unbeatable in Italianità and serves the most delicious Pizzoccheri - a real insider tip!

The mystical Viamala Canyon
In addition to the countless hiking and biking routes around Wergenstein, the Viamala Canyon, which is up to 300 metres high, is also worth a visit. A particularly impressive experience for everyone is canyoning in the canyon, which is carried out from June to September. Swim and slide through the impressive canyon - a pure nature experience. What you need to bring with you: Bathing clothes, rucksack/bag, towel and spirit of adventure. For canyoning you need a reservation. You can find more details here.

A great thing for hotels
“As a hotelier, I appreciate the model. Unlike other booking portals, HotelCard does not take commission on bookings. HotelCard members are welcome guests at our hotel and are a real asset, especially in the low season”

Win-win situation for all involved
"I would like to thank the whole HotelCard team for their great commitment. In the meantime, our children no longer live at home and we use the HotelCard offer very often for short holidays. A great thing and I think it really is a win-win situation for everyone. Thank you very much and have fun and success searching and finding nice partner hotels. See you in the next inspiring newsletter."
