Charmingly furnished B&B and holiday apartment with fantastic views of the Gantrisch mountain range. Located in the center of the village is the B&B Bären Rüeggisberg. It offers its guests a charming and cozy ambiance after an activity-packed day. Reflect on the day's experiences with a refreshing drink, a cold platter, or a homemade soup. A set menu can also be ordered upon request. The five rooms with shared bathrooms, as well as the four "deluxe" rooms with shower/WC, invite you to a relaxing stay. A rich breakfast buffet is served each morning when you stay at the B&B Bären. You can also stay in the charming holiday apartment, which can accommodate up to six people. Experience the B&B Bären either as a self-catering or bed and breakfast guest.

Very beautiful and quiet location. There is covered seating (at least for 20 people). The Halten forest hut can be reserved (from the local authority). However, it is unclear whether a reservation excludes other people from using it.
