frequently asked Questions
Are there any shopping facilities locally?
Braunwald has a village shop and the Schwettiberg-Lädeli (little shop). Information on opening hours can be found here and here. Opening hours are very limited; both shops are closed on Sundays! The shops are about a 25-30 minute walk from the glass igloo. Due to the current situation, we recommend bringing any necessary groceries from the valley.
