Hi guys. I would pick the Hotel Alexander in Zurich. I will be spending 18 days next month hiking in the Jungfrau region and and it looks like a nice place to spend a couple days recovering before I fly home to California.

We are looking forward to our trip in September and we would love to stay at Hotel Colorado in Lugano. It looks amazing with a rooftop deck, beautiful rooms, free breakfast. It is close to the lakeside promenade and the train station. They also rent bikes right on the premises, my husband and I would definitely take advantage of that.

Thank you so much

DASBREITEHOTEL in Basel. This hotel goes above and beyond by providing employment and education to adults with a disability. Would love to support their mission with a stay during our bucket list Christmas market journey.

Hello myswissalps team and users,

My prefered hotel is the dell’Angelo Hotel in Locarno, because it’s centrally located and one of the fewest to have quintuple rooms, so my family and I can book only one room for the five of us.

Hi Arno, It looks like this card is available to some people and not others. We are from the US so it doesn’t apply. Thank you anyway.

Hi Denise,

That’s strange, last time I checked the card was available for anyone living in Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and the United States. I didn’t think limits would apply on free cards, but either way the US should work. I will check with them.

Hi again Denise,

The United States should be available to select on the country list, please see attached. I got confirmed it is valid for the US. The text you found in the terms should be updated I guess.

If you or one of the other winners still have a problem with the country, please reply to the e-mail I sent you, and we’ll find a way to make it work.
