The Keys

 

You have a key for the main entrance ( that usually closes at 8 PM) and the same key is to be used for the apartment.

The building is locked at night. This is because it only has vacation homes and very few people leave in the building the whole year. 
The apartment key is to be used for the main building entrance, therefore have it with you all the time if you leave the apartment.
 

The building has two entrances:

• Main Entrance: one from the parking below (P1), with stairs.  This path is shorter, but can‘t use the stroller in case you have one!

• Back Entrance: one entrance from behind, from blue zone parking. Here are no stairs, it is flat and you can push the stroller.

 

When you arrive first, take the main entrance, the one from below the building.

Tourist Tax in Switzerland:

• Anyone staying overnight in Swiss vacation places is required to pay a tax, which is used to fund tourist infrastructure such as transportation, information services, cultural performances, etc. This applies to Swiss citizens staying in towns where they do not have permanent residence as well.

• The tourist tax must be paid per person and night, and the amount varies depending on the town. The amount is determined by local authorities, not by the accommodation owner. Typically, the cost is CHF 2.50 per person per night, but this can vary based on the rules of the specific municipality.

• The tourist tax is usually not included in the accommodation rate and is charged as a separate amount. It is common for holiday homes to require payment of the tax separately, and it will be paid to the apartment owner or the local tourist agency.
