For generations
Amina Matti and Tim Wetli are honoured to continue the Arc-en-ciel into its third generation. Founded in 1961 by Heini and Micheline Matti, the hotel was lovingly run by their daughter Christiane until 2020.
Now, with fresh energy and deep respect for the hotel’s history, Amina and Tim are carrying on the family tradition, which is shaped by genuine hospitality, personal care, and a strong commitment to quality. Together with their long-standing team, they create an atmosphere in which guests feel welcome from the moment they arrive and are happy to return time and again.
