How is Berglodge Goms classified as a hotel?
The Berglodge Goms is classified as a “Design & Lifestyle Hotel”. What does that mean?
The Berglodge Goms is a design and lifestyle hotel because the business is based on an overall concept that is consistently implemented and finds its expression both in the design, in the architecture but also in the quality of the services. As a design and lifestyle hotel, the Berglodge Goms also meets the strict criteria for classification as a boutique hotel. These hotels impress with their individual character and offer guests a symbiosis of functionality and aesthetics. More information at Hotellerie Suisse and Switzerland Tourism.
What is special about the architecture of the Berglodge Goms?
Following the example of regional architecture, we have constructed a compact and simple building as a log structure. In this way, we want to make a contribution to the building culture and to the further development of the historic building stock. The wood used (larch and spruce) comes exclusively from Switzerland, or rather 80% of it from the Valais. We have deliberately kept the design of the house reduced. The entire construction is made of untreated solid wood. The colour and material concept in the interior results in an interplay of subtle natural tones, inspired by the forest, natural meadows and snow, and together with different nuances of the woods creates a harmonious overall picture. The everlasting scent of wood and the warmth radiated by wood intensify the spatial effect and allow the building to be experienced with all the senses. Berglodge Goms “genuine through and through”!

What obligations does Berglodge Goms have with regard to the environment?
We think that an intact nature and biodiversity are the basis of existence for people. With this in mind, we have paid very close attention to sustainability in the planning and construction of the Berglodge. The Berglodge Goms was built entirely as a traditional log structure from solid wood. Around 80% of the wood used comes from the Upper Valais and the remaining 20% from the Bernese Oberland. The building materials used are free of harmful substances and pose no health risks. We produce around 85% of our annual electricity requirements ourselves with our photovoltaic system. Thanks to the very compact construction and the insulation thicknesses, the thermal energy consumption is relatively low. Our large garden is laid out according to the principles of permaculture and we cultivate it very extensively. Some of the products used in the kitchen come from our own garden or, if possible, from the region.
