Switzerland Inn and Chalet Restaurant

Switzerland Inn is a seasonal destination set in the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina within a historic, Swiss-inspired town called Little Switzerland. Operating as the only privately owned property on the entire 469-mile stretch of the Blue Ridge Parkway, Switzerland Inn is the quintessential stop for travelers looking to revel in sweeping panoramas of the deep valleys and distant ranges the region is renowned for. The hotel boasts a variety of accommodations, from traditional guestrooms to suites, standalone cabins, and spacious, secluded cottages. On-site activities include pickleball, an outdoor pool with hot tubs, a spa, retail shops, firepits, and lawn games. Distinct dining concepts include the full-service, fine-dining Chalet Restaurant, the neighborhood watering hole The Fowl Play Pub & Taproom, and Provision Haus, a gourmet grab-and-go grocery and ice cream shop outfitted with specialty coffees, homemade ice cream, and grab-and-go picnic items and supplies. Explore nearby experiences such as Grandfather Mountain Nature Park & Swinging Bridge, The Orchard at Altapass, hiking at Mount Mitchell, horseback riding at Springmaid Mountain, and thrill-seeking auto/moto adventurers can make the trek to ride the Diamondback, North Carolina 226A, one of Western North Carolina’s last great mountain roadways. The quaint town of Little Switzerland, named for its semblance of the foothills of the Swiss Alps, offers an enchanting downtown experience for visitors to explore.
