Pilgerhüsli Backpacker

The Pilgerhuesli Backpacker offers its guests six quiet holiday rooms with views of Lake Zurich and the surrounding mountains. This accommodation is set in idyllic surroundings and is ideal for single overnight stays or multi-day stays for small groups of up to ten people. The rooms are specially designed for travelers and pilgrims but do not offer a breakfast service. Instead, guests can use the well-equipped shared kitchen, which has hotplates, a microwave, a refrigerator, and a Nespresso machine. There are two shared bathrooms available to guests, as well as a large garden that invites you to relaxing hours under the open sky.

The Pilgerhuesli is also distinguished by its clear house rules: dogs are not allowed, and the rooms are not available for hourly bookings. When booking, payment is made in cash in Swiss francs or by Twint on the day of arrival. Although the location is rural, public transport connections are good: the nearest bus stop is only a five-minute walk away, and the train stations of Uerikon and Staefa can be reached in ten to twenty minutes. In the immediate vicinity of the Pilgerhuesli there are also various leisure options, such as the public lakeside bathing area and cycle paths.

In addition, the Pilgerhuesli is an ideal starting point for exploring the region, as Zurich is only 25 kilometers away, while the picturesque town of Rapperswil is only 8 kilometers away. The quiet yet central location of the Pilgerhuesli makes it a perfect choice for travelers who want to enjoy nature while also having access to urban amenities.
