Been here?
A quiet, family-run farm pitch in Himmelrich with three spots and lovely mountain views (Eiger, Mönch, Jungfrau). Hosts Urs and Lilo are consistently praised as warm and welcoming, letting guests visit and feed the farm animals. Water, electricity and a clean toilet are provided, plus a shared lounge with pizza oven and grill (5 CHF surcharge for the room or fireplace). One 2025 comment notes there's no shower, though another mentions a hot-water sink. Very calm, minimal traffic, ideal for families with children.

Many thanks to Urs and Lilo for this wonderful opportunity. An extra toilet and shower will be added soon, so nothing will be lacking. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast with a beautiful view while listening to the alphorns. We will definitely come back. We also wish you a wonderful journey to the North Cape.
5 out of 5 stars. Well deserved! Lilo and Urs are two wonderful hosts. The farm has everything you could wish for: top-notch. The location is a dream. The magnificent views and distant vistas are unbeatable. The Alpine panorama, including the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, is spectacular. We are already looking forward to next time. Thank you very much. Claudia and Frank
Everything is perfect, from arrival to departure. The peace and quiet, apart from a few aeroplanes, and the views are wonderful. The forest is quickly accessible for a walk around Himmelrich. We look forward to coming again.
Perfect place to stop. The hosts are super friendly. We arrived early and were able to feed the animals and walk around the farm. Very happy with our stay!
Quiet pitch with plenty of privacy on a very well-maintained farm. Electricity, toilet, sink for washing dishes and Wi-Fi—all excellent. The two hosts are very friendly and helpful. Wonderful place for long walks through beautiful countryside. The only thing to note is that there is no shower, which is easy enough to plan for. Definitely recommended!
Very beautiful farm with everything you need. Great views and everything very clean and well maintained. Urs and Lilo are extremely nice and take plenty of time for children. We were allowed to feed the donkeys and sheep! Thank you very much for the wonderful stay!
Very nice mountain pitch on a farm. The residents are very friendly, and there is the option of using a communal room with a pizza oven and barbecue. The toilet is very clean. Payment can be made in euros.
Himmelrich—the perfect name for the place! Thank you, dear Urs, for the wonderful stay. Very kind and helpful operators. The site is quiet and beautifully located, ideal for relaxing. Many animals: farm animals, fish and deer. Toilet, water and electricity available. Perfect for children, as there is hardly any traffic. We will gladly come back!
Wow! just wonderful. Super views with such welcoming hosts. We stayed here before dropping our indie camper off the next day outside Zurich. Perfect and highly recommended. :)
Extraordinary! Level ground, quiet, with a very beautiful view. Urs and Lilo are extremely kind and hospitable. The hamlet is very serene and peaceful. Spotlessly clean toilets, electricity and hot water. We cannot wait to return as soon as the opportunity arises.
Very nice operators, beautiful views and peaceful surroundings :)
Very hospitable, beautiful and clean farm. There are a handful of pitches distributed around the farm, arranged so that guests each have some privacy. The toilet was clean. We were able to pet donkeys and sheep.
Highly recommended without reservation. Great location and very kind hosts. We would gladly come back.
Friendly welcome, very peaceful. Tour of the farm and special mention for Johnny the donkey—excellent! We slept very well with the sheep bells and enjoyed their barbecue, which is a real plus. We will definitely come back when we are in the area again. +++++
Absolutely magical place! Fantastic welcome from the hosts, who are incredibly nice and hospitable. We were given a tour of the farm and got to pet the animals and learn a lot about them. In the morning we were given some bread to feed the sheep. For animal lovers like us, this was the perfect place. Besides sheep, there are cows, donkeys and three cats. If we had been able to, we would have stayed longer!
Excellent stay with super friendly host! Location and view are spectacular and our girls (8) loved all the animals on the farm. Very calm and quiet. The pitch was beautifully located with a balcony/terras, under an apple tree and view on the valley and qute sheeps. We had an amazing stay and received some very cool tips for the rest of our trip. Can definitely recommend to stay here!
Dear Urs, thank you very much for this wonderful place! You gave us a very warm welcome at the end of our trip. The tour and explanations about Swiss agriculture were very interesting, and we immediately felt at home with you. I hope we see each other again! The children talk about nothing but donkeys, cows and sheep! An absolute recommendation for this gem!
Wonderful place with beautiful views of nature. We especially enjoyed the local wildlife, including Valais blacknose sheep and donkeys. The hosts are very warm-hearted. The place is also well suited for a moderate bike ride to Zurich. Great!
We spent one night on the farm and enjoyed the hospitality. Arrangements regarding an available pitch worked perfectly. The pitch was excellent. Toilet and washing facilities were clean. We will come back. Especially recommended for families with small children.
