Welcome to Backpacker Bären

Super central, 5 minutes from the train station, in the middle of the beautiful and traditional village square of Urnäsch. 

We offer a special kind of accommodation for young and old.
Surrounded by landscape, culture, customs and traditional architecture, we are located at one of the most popular destinations of the Appenzellerland, directly at the Säntis.
In our backpacker we combine traditional with modern and have set no limits to creativity.

With us you can feel at home and at the same time let us bring you closer to the Appenzellerland.


If the accommodation is fully booked on Booking, please contact us by mail or phone, maybe we can find a solution.
Likewise, if the shared room for a whole family comes into question.
