Heiden hotels

So the first thing to note is to be careful when you search for a hotel that you're Looking for a location and not a region. We searched for Appenzell, and booked this without noticing that we were in the region, not the town. Our fault. That said, the hotel is in a gorgeous setting and the bus from st Galen offered stunning snowy vistas. The hotel was full of older Swiss people recovering from leg and foot operations . Instead of wine coolers at tables, there were holders for crutches. There is a gorgeous spa and treatment rooms. A fab poo, steam room , sauna and outdoor hot tub, all of which we enjoyed ,even in December. We think we were the only mobile couple there! But it was a quirky adventure !
