character – a home that feels personal and leaves a lasting impression. For Andrea and Thomas Mattern, the Rischli has always been much more than just a hotel: “It’s a labour of love that we’ve been running and developing with great passion for over two years. As a couple, we’re united by a shared vision of creating a place where people can truly feel at home and find peace.” From the very beginning, it has been important to give the hotel a distinct identity, characterised by genuine hospitality, quality, and a strong connection to nature: “Together with our team, we continue to refine the Rischli on a daily basis – with great dedication, attention to detail, and a commitment to offering our guests not just a stay, but a true experience. It always comes down to one feeling above all else: the feeling of having arrived.”

Located near Lucerne in the Swiss Alps, the Rischli is the only hotel in the village of Sörenberg offering a perfect blend of tranquillity, activity, and indulgence at a 4-star-level. “The Rischli is a place where you truly arrive – not just geographically, but also within yourself,” explains Andrea Mattern, who runs the hotel together with her husband: “Whether hiking, hitting the slopes in winter, or enjoying a glass of wine with a view of the mountains – our guests quickly realise: here, you can breathe, let go and recharge your batteries.”
Following a recent, extensive renovation of the kitchen further highlighting the Rischli’s culinary signature, the Matterns are now focusing on the guest rooms and the wellness area: “Our goal is to make these spaces even more inviting as places of tranquillity and relaxation. In doing so, we place great emphasis on attention to detail, natural materials, and an even deeper connection to the surrounding mountains. Thus, step by step, a place is taking shape that continues to evolve while retaining its soul.”
