Extraordinary accommodation in Switzerland - most original and unusual hotels

Lausanne In Switzerland, there is everything for a comfortable stay. The country has a variety of hotels. Among them, there are those that don't fit within the framework of the usual understanding. For example, a hotel-nest in the canton of Jura. The rooms of this house on the tree are at an altitude of 5-8 meters. The guests will be able to experience completely new impressions. At the same time, the rooms have a shower room, a kitchen, a toilet, and even a wooden stove. Those prizing privacy, will like another unusual hotel, in the Bintal valley, which is a small hut amidst of alpine meadows. You can only walk there. No buildings are in the neighborhood, so nothing will disturb vacationers in this incredibly beautiful place. A very unusual hotel, La Claustra, is located in a dungeon among the picturesque mountains, not far from the pass of Saint Gotthard. All rooms are set in the abandoned underground bunker, which is arranged directly in the rocks. Daylight is blocked in the rooms, so an ineffable atmosphere of the military facility is created inside. Those who can not tolerate enclosed spaces, will prefer the outdoor facility in the hayloft. Many farms offer travelers traveling across the country by bike or on foot to stay overnight in a very cozy shed.
