Pensiun Laresch

Pensiun Laresch

The mountain hotel “Pensiun Laresch” is located in the middle of the Swiss Natural Parks Beverin. Its architecture reflects the rugged mountain scenery of Graubünden. The house is built from local materials such as stone, wood and clay. The monolithic building has a facade of natural lime, which is refined by asymmetrical window reveals which reinterpret the deep window alignments of the old Engadine houses. Depending on the way light falls on the walls, the window reveals stand out and change the look of the facade. The position of the building has been chosen in order to guarantee beautiful views of the Alps in all rooms.

The interior design is clear and minimalistic, the materials are ecologically: The beds are made of pine wood from the region, the floors are made of larch wood, the bathrooms are lined with natural stone. Clay and lime plaster ensure a good indoor climate. In addition to the hotel rooms, the Berglodge features a holiday apartment for four people.

What to do

Hiking, snowshoe and ski tours, sledding, biking, bouldering, Spa, visit the Viamala Gorge

Why we like this house

Modern alpine architecture that makes a statement and yet is connected to local traditions.

This house is great for

Single travellers, couples, families. Nature lovers!

We loved arriving at Penguin Laresch after a long drive from Bruneck. It’s so quiet, the views are beautiful over the hills and mountain range. There is a restaurant that was convenient walking distance. The Room was perfect for us plus a teenager. The atmosphere was like of a quiet yet welcoming guesthouse. Would recommend to friends without hesitation.

Der Empfang und die Betreuung sind sehr herzlich und absolut freundlich. Ein sehr nachhaltiges Konzept bis hin zu selbstgemachtem Brot und Marmelade. Man fühlt sich von Anfang an wohl und bestens aufgehoben. Für entspannten Urlaub in der Natur sehr zu empfehlen.

Mitten in traumhafter Bergwelt mit einer kleinen romanischen Kirche steht in Mathon die Pension Laresch. Das Haus besticht durch seine Schlichtheit innen wie aussen und vor allem die Herzlichkeit und das sehr leckere Essen bleiben uns in bester Erinnerung.

Es ist eine Oase der Ruhe, der schönen Architektur, des ausgesuchten Interieurs und des fantastischen Essens inmitten der Berge! Von dort kann man zum Schlitteln aufbrechen oder zu Wanderungen durch die beeindruckende Natur. Lukas und Marianne sind sehr angenehme Gastgeber und machen den Aufenthalt zu etwas Besonderem. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Our stay at Pensiun Laresch was, as they say, absolutely 'Tip Top'. The beautiful mountain setting, the crisp sharp cold air contrasted with the cosy earthen like natural quality of our room. Falling asleep with the soft scent of pine in the air. Waking up to perfectly composed views of the idyllic natural surroundings. Lukas and Marianne were wonderfully hospitable. From guidance to local hiking and outdoor activities in the area, healthy breakfasts and excellently prepared dinners, they made our stay feel so personal and as if we were staying with friends. Their attention to detail is second to none and in all, it made for a superbly relaxing stay in such a beautifully designed space, amongst what can only be described as undoubtedly one of the most serene and captivating natural surroundings we have been in. Thank you!

Das Haus, seine Gastgeber und die Umgebung sind jede Reise wert! Die Verbindung aus Beton, als dem nachempfundenen Bergfels, mit heimischen Holz- und Steinausstattungen zu einer modernen, funktional durchdachten und gemütlich-lichten Symbiose.
