Mysterious Abandoned 4-front Hotel In The Alps
Built in 1882, Belvedere hotel (Switzerland) used to be an iconic work in the Alps. Many people say that the way to the hotel is the scariest route.
Mysterious abandoned 4-front hotel in the Alps
Located at an altitude of 2,429 m on the Furka pass (Switzerland), the Belvedere hotel is located in one of the most beautiful bends in the Alps. This is the only place in the world where visitors can drive a car close to the edge of a glacier as well as enjoy this landscape up close from the balcony. Photo: Shutterstock
The Belvedere is so close to the glacier that you only need to cross a paved road. Built in 1882, the hotel was once iconic in Switzerland. Photo: Shutterstock
At the beginning of the 20th century, the number of visitors to the Rhone glacier and hotels surged thanks to the opening of two new railway lines.
In addition, the development of personal cars after World War II led to many people's preferences for driving to visit pass roads.The boom in tourist arrivals prompted hoteliers to decide to expand Belvedere. That's also why it looks like it is now with 90 beds ready for service. Photo: Drones_addiction, Philippmerki
In times of prosperity, this place is a destination for travelers who love to explore. They sometimes stay at hotels for weeks during the summer. Belvedere appeared in the episode Goldfinger in the series about James Bond released in 1964 and regularly welcomed Pope John XXIII to stay. Photo: Shutterstock
However, since the 1960s, the number of tourists coming here has started to decrease.
The reason is that the car's engine becomes more and more powerful, making the time to enjoy the road shorten, from 2-3 days to a day. The guests who used to come here for the night just stop for lunch. Photo: Gletscher.
Besides, the disappearance of glaciers makes the attraction here no longer the same. If before, this river flowed down near the valley basin, now the end of Rhone is near the hotel. Photo: Gletscher.
In 2015, the hotel closed. Currently, visitors still come here to visit the ice cellar as well as check-in with the once-successful construction.
