# The Alpina Mountain Resort & Spa – Mountain magic in Tschiertschen

> The Alpina Mountain Resort & Spa is a renovated 1897 four-star hotel perched on a sunny terrace above Tschiertschen in the Swiss canton of Graubünden, offering alpine views, a notable spa, and acclaimed Asian and European cuisine.

## Destination
Tschiertschen, canton of Graubünden (Grisons), Switzerland — high on an elevated terrace above the village with views of the Schanfigg Valley and the Bündner Alps.

## Getting there
Article mentions Swiss International Air Lines and the Swiss Travel Pass as useful resources but gives no specific routing details.

## When to go
Article does not specify an optimal season, though it references summer hiking and evokes winter snowscapes as appealing.

## Why visit
A historic landmark hotel combining Belle Époque charm, a standout spa with an immersive thunderstorm shower path, and talented Asian and European cuisine, all set against dramatic alpine scenery.

## What to see
- **Village of Tschiertschen** — Steep narrow streets, sun-blackened chalets and barns, colourful window boxes, and a graceful stone church visible from the hotel balcony.
- **Schanfigg Valley and Bündner Alps** — Sweeping panorama visible from the hotel balcony, terrace, and surrounding hiking trails.
- **La Belle Époque Dining Room** — Restored historic room retaining the original herringbone parquet floor, chandeliers, wood panelling, and a mirror placed as it was in 1897.
- **Hörnli Summit Restaurant** — Restaurant at the top of Hörnli, reached by the guests as a day excursion and visible from the Panorama Restaurant at night.

## What to do
- **Via Mala Thunderstorm Shower Path** — Unique sensory shower experience in the Shan Spa featuring hot and cold mist, simulated storm, birdsong, stars, and a hot water deluge — described as addictive.
- **Sauna Circuit in Shan Spa** — Four saunas available: Finnish, eucalyptus steam bath, bio-sauna with herbal aromas, and infra-red sauna recommended for muscle and joint relief.
- **Kneipp Basin** — Warm stone bench and cold stone tub for water-treading to stimulate circulation; said to help prevent varicose veins.
- **Outdoor Jacuzzi** — Bubble lounger jacuzzi where guests can relax while breathing fresh alpine air after a day's hiking.
- **Hiking in the Mountains** — Day hikes in the surrounding alps are central to the guest experience, with the Hörnli mentioned as one destination.
- **Asian Dinner by Chef Tony Leung** — Shared Asian dinner menu including Szechuan beef, Thai curry, sweet and sour shrimps, and lychees, served in the La Belle Époque restaurant.

## Good to know
The hotel has 27 rooms and suites; the top-floor balcony suites offer skylight windows and direct mountain views. Managers Michael and Marlies Gehring provide personalised welcome cards and a pillow menu. The Alpina is a member of Romantik Hotels & Restaurants International.
