The driveway on the Sustenstrasse can be closed when there are large amounts of snow.

The Garielenhaus got its name from its former owners. The house, however, has a long history behind it, exactly when it was built is not known. The number before the House Heidenmauer is supposed to protect the defense work before the, over the Sustenpass coming, Heiden. Between the house and the opposite chapel The old mule trail to Wassen or over the Sustenpass runs up to Innertkirchen.

1981 was the building shortly before the total decay. There were still three exterior walls and a holey roof. the house has been restored through a complete renovation. The interior was convenient, comfortable and easily selected. A large fireplace with convection serves as central heating.

The house is four-season booking. Winters in Meiental are most very strict, and one to two feet of snow are not uncommon. Especially in this time of year the house exudes its coziness and is felt existentially.

Amazing House in the Swiss Alps
Highly recommend. It is an authentic Swiss mountain experience. The host, Rolf, was very attentive and available for questions. The place was stocked everything we needed from Fondue pots, foosball table, towels, and cellar with wine & beer! Hope to visit again in the future.

This is a great VRBO property!
We had a great time and experience staying here. It’s located in a nice small peaceful village. We hit the slopes in Andermatt each day which is about a 25-30 min drive away. The place is well stocked and we were able to stay warm by the fire. Great accommodation! I can’t wait to stay here again.

This is a wonderful place to get away and do nothing but enjoy your family. My family and I snowshoed, sledded and play games around a cozy fire. It was wonderful!

A real Swiss retreat
This house is a total getaway. This position is perfect. The mountains, the river, mountain air. Just peace and quiet only broken by the rushing water and cow bells. The house is well equipped and the fire keeps it lovely and cozy. Lovely walks for the dogs. It exceeded our expectations. Would definitely recommend a visit

Authentic, rural, stunningly scenic
This is a house literally in the middle of the Swiss Alps as described. In a quaint hamlet just off the Sustenpass. It cannot get more authentically Swiss Alpine. House itself is warm and cozy. Area is serenely quiet other than for the movement of daily life of the few local residents and the farmers in the vicinity. View from the patio into the valley and mountains is hard to describe with any justice - we sat for hours outside in the evening admiring the scenery. As a base to see the region, it is wonderfully central without being in the hub of tourist activity even in mid-summer. So much to do, so much to see. As a point from which to hike, mountain bike, road cycle or just generally wander there is just not enough time to cover all the options. We loved it and this is our final real trip into the Alps before we return to South Africa, there was no better location that we could have found to authentically capture the wonderful time we have spent in Switzerland and its extraordinary natural beauty.
