Family Vogel


It is a happy reality and not a fairy tale that the Vogel family has been allowed to run the fairy tale hotel for generations in Braunwald. The Vogel family originally comes from Braunwald and Linthal. Since 1515 they have been citizens of the city of Glarus.


  • 1907 Fritz Vogel went to the oldest hotel management school in the world in Lausanne and took over the Stadthof-Posthotel near the main train station in Zurich.
  • 1948 his son Fridolin bought the Hotel Glarnerhof in Glarus.
  • 1972 he bought the Hotel Bellevue in Braunwald.
  • 1975 he handed over the Hotel Bellevue to his son Martin.
  • Martin and Lydia Vogel turned it into the already legendary fairy tale hotel in 1977.
  • In 2011 the next generation with Nadja and Patric Vogel took over the fairy tale hotel.
Once upon a time...

...is not only the beginning of many fairy tales, but also the happy fact that Lydia and Martin Vogel are retiring after 35 years of creative work. It is a happy reality and not a fairy tale that the Vogel family has passed on the fairy tale hotel to the succeeding Vogel generation. Patric and Nadja Vogel have been allowed to lead the child-friendly hotel into a fairy-tale future since the summer season of 2011. The current hosts of the fairy tale hotel look forward to their challenge and especially to you, dear guests.

100 Years of Fairytale Hotel

Many things started in the Glarus region: in 1893 with the first ski club in Switzerland, in 1902 with the first ski race in the Alps in Glarus, and in 1907 with the construction of the Braunwaldbahn and our then Grand Hotel.
