Welcome to the Gallery
Louisa's Gallery is our maisonette apartment in the historic SutterSport building right in the heart of Alt St. Johann, on two levels, with a large private outdoor hot tub (up to 5 people) and a view of the Schafberg. You live and cook downstairs, and up on the gallery level you can play table tennis or breathe out at the workspace. In summer the swimming lakes and hiking trails beckon at the door; in autumn it's golden forests and clear mountain air. Central, the bus stop and grocery shop are a two-minute walk, yet pleasantly quiet from around 8 pm. Room for up to 6 guests plus a travel cot; children and dogs are warmly welcome.
Living on two levels
The open living room with its sofa and large dining table is the heart of the home. A staircase up leads to the gallery level with table tennis, a foosball table and a quiet workspace, ideal when some want to play while others quickly check emails. Everyone has their spot, and yet you're together.
The large hot tub
The centrepiece of the Gallery: a large outdoor hot tub with a view of the Schafberg, under the awning, for up to five people. Ease your legs after a summer hike, sink into the warm water in the clear autumn air, or sit under the stars in the winter snow, at sunset, the loveliest spot in the apartment.
Sleeping
Two bedrooms, one on the ground floor, one on the gallery level, plus a sofa bed in the living room sleep up to 6 guests, with a travel cot for the littlest one. A cot and high chair are available on request.
Kitchen, bath & good living
The fully equipped kitchen invites you to cook for yourself, fondue and raclette sets included for a cosy Swiss cheese evening. In the bathroom, a bathtub is waiting for you to unwind. You'll find cheese recommendations from world champion Willi Schmid and our favourite spots in the digital guest guide.

Guest reviews
What our guests say
★★★★★
Alles tiptop. Traumhafter Aufenthalt. Lernlift für Kinder in Gehdistanz entfernt. Für 10.- pro Person und Tag konnten erste Skierfahrungen gemacht werden. Mittagspause zum Erholen somit „zu Hause" möglich. Sandro und Isabel sind äusserst zuvorkommend. Wohnung für Familie mit 3 Kindern (1, 5 & 6) und grossen Hund gut eingerichtet. Viele Spielsachen und Kleinkinder gerechte Ausstattung. Gerne wieder
