Tierwis

Tierwis (also known as Berggasthaus Tierwis or Bergwirtschaft Tierwis) is a mountain guesthouse and alpine inn located in the Alpstein massif near Urnäsch in the Swiss canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden. It operates as a traditional Bergwirtschaft — a mountain restaurant and lodging house — and is described as a popular excursion destination in the Alpstein. The guesthouse provides sleeping places for up to 50 people and is open only during the summer season, reflecting the seasonal rhythm typical of high-altitude Swiss hospitality. Its official website, tierwis.ch, presents it under the name Berggasthaus Tierwis, Urnäsch, Schweiz. As a small, seasonal mountain inn rather than a large corporate chain, Tierwis functions as a local hospitality brand serving hikers, climbers and day visitors exploring the Alpstein. The business is not known to be part of a larger hospitality group, and no founding date, ownership structure or public listing is documented in the available evidence. Its identity is closely tied to its location and to the summer hiking season, when it offers food, drink and overnight accommodation to guests in the mountains.
