The air conditioning operates from June to October. Heating operates from November to April.

AC’s in Switzerland are not at comparable with A/Cs for example in arabic countries or the US. Temperatures at that hight have not been measured and the pressure from the Swiss Authorities to reduce electric consumption increased.

When refurbishing or building a Hotel we receive requirements for the building which actions need to be taken to be allowed to implement an A/C, that you allowed to cool down at all. If you have a standard isolation it is already no more allowed to install an AC.

We received the requirements, to start the AC at a 24 hours average temperature higher than 25 C. This happens fully automatic and can not be overdriven by our staff. All our Hotels feature a modern heating cooling system. If a AC is in operation we are allowed to cool down the rooms maximum 2 C more than the outside temperature. In the mid season (March till June or October till November) the temperature are about 15 C during the night and 28 C during the day, so the average is only at 20 C. In this case the temperature only can be regulated if you open the windows during the night. If the requirements are not followed the authorties can send fines. Our staff tries everything to satisfy you. But they are not able to influence the rules of the authorities. Thank you for your understanding.
