Photo Spot Tower of Hospental

On the Grand Tour of Switzerland, scenic and cultural highlights are strung together like pearls on a string – from impressive four-thousand-meter peaks to historic towns. In Hospental, the last village before the ascent to the Gotthard Pass, an official photo spot with a view of the distinctive tower invites you to linger.

The tower of the Lords of Hospental, built in the 13th century, dominates the Ursern Valley with its elevated position and is clearly visible from various directions. It is a reminder of the time when Hospental was of great importance during the mule tracks. Today, the tower is open to the public and is a popular destination for lovers of history and culture.
