Location and accessibility

Ritzingen in the municipality of Goms – a mountain village in Upper Valais with about 100 inhabitants – is located at 1,328 m above sea level and is part of the old county. Ritzingen is easily accessible all year round via a well-developed road and public transport (Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn). The typical Valais mountain village is known for the Ritzinger Feldkapelle, which stands alone amidst lush meadows and is probably the most famous photo subject of Goms. The large centers of Upper Valais, Brig and Visp, are about 40 minutes by car away.

The widely known Hotel Weisshorn, built in 1982, stands prominently on the heavily trafficked Furkastrasse, which leads to the Furka Pass or to the car transport through the Furka Tunnel. The Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn station is just a few minutes' walk away.

Description of the property

Thanks to its year-round opening hours, this profitable catering business presents a solid business result. The rustic and well-maintained restaurant has 120 seats available for guest service. From the cozy sun terrace with 52 seats, guests enjoy a breathtaking view of the Valais mountains. The kitchen in the basement, renovated in 2014, is equipped with all important catering devices and is connected to the restaurant by a goods lift.

The charming hotel offers enough space for its sporty and relaxation-seeking guests in its 17 differently designed guest rooms, all of which have a bathroom with shower and toilet. Another plus is the 4.5-room landlord's apartment in the attic with fireplace and balcony. It serves as a cozy retreat after busy days or as staff accommodation.

The house is heated by a central oil heating system. The heat distribution is done via underfloor heating. The roof of the house is intact and was inspected in 2019. There are 30 outdoor parking spaces available in front of the house.

A host couple is sought who, like the current owners, will continue this popular hotel and restaurant with passion. Thanks to the regularly carried out value-enhancing renovations and replacement of kitchen inventory, machines, and facilities, the property is in good condition and the operation can be taken over without large investments.

For investors, the associated building land with a total of 692 m2 on two plots (No. 1122 and No. 1123, see site plan) offers great optimization and expansion potential.

The village of Ritzingen is a former independent municipality in the district of Goms. On January 1, 2001, it merged with the municipalities of Biel and Selkingen to form the municipality of Grafschaft. Since 2017, it has belonged to the municipality of Goms.

The houses in Ritzingen are located on a gently sloping southwest slope and are very sun-drenched even by Valais standards.

In the past, craftsmen lived in the village who made shingles for the typical Valais wooden roofs from large larch blocks in sweat-inducing manual labor. Today, this craft is almost only practiced in an old Ritzingen workshop.
