Guest house at Bethanien Monastery

Overnight stay at the Bethanien guest house

Combine your visit to Lumeum with a stay at the Bethanien monastery guest house in St. Niklausen, located on a sunny plateau above Sarnen. The guest house offers peaceful accommodation in beautiful vintage single and double rooms. Many rooms have a balcony with panoramic views of Lake Sarnen or the Obwalden mountains.

All guests receive a nutritious breakfast in the morning. Free Wi-Fi and the peaceful surroundings make the guest house ideal for groups of all sizes, families, individual visitors or even spiritual retreats.

The chapel forms the open heart of the monastery, where both communities pray together. Nestled in the pilgrimage landscape around Bruder Klaus, it invites contemplation. The extraordinary view and proximity to hiking trails such as those around Flüeli-Ranft make a stay here special.

The in-house restaurant is open daily from approximately 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and offers seasonal, lovingly prepared cuisine with a view of the countryside. Breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack or dinner – all in a stylish ambience.

We recommend reserving meals in advance, especially for group bookings or special dietary requirements.
