Switzerland Inn has reopened. At this time, we are prioritizing guests who are involved in the ongoing restoration following the recent storm. Please be aware that several amenities remain unavailable, including The Spa, retail shops, Chalet Restaurant, and television services. However, The Fowl Play Pub is open for dinner service every evening from 4 to 9 p.m. It is important to note that our community is still in recovery, with minimal operations and ongoing closures on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

 For emergency management groups seeking accommodation, please contact groupsales@switzerlandinn.com.
