Information concerning your stay

  • Room

    All the rooms in the clinic have big windows and a balcony. They receive a large amount of natural light, and offer you a pleasant view of the Alps.

    If you are insured for treatment on the public ward, you will be accommodated in a room containing two or three beds. A movable screen ensures that each patient can have the privacy he/she needs or desires. It is possible to have a single room if you provide an advance supplementary payment. However, single rooms are allocated as a priority to patients who are insured for treatment on the private ward.

    If you are insured for treatment on the private ward, you will be accommodated in a one-bed room. Upon admission, you must provide a certificate from your insurance company covering this service. You will be given the opportunity to specify your requirements in terms of comfort and equipment.
