Once upon a time... the 1st generation

The Pension Hornberg was built by Werner and Helene von Siebenthal-Hauswirth and opened its doors in the winter of 1936/1937 with 24 beds. Due to the cordiality of the two, the small pension became a place of open doors and meetings. A spirit which laid the foundation for the philosophy of the future. Until 1970 they managed the business as founders before the Hornberg was taken over by their eldest son Peter and his wife.

Also at that time... the 2nd generation

In 1970, the 2nd generation took over the responsibility with Elisabeth and Peter von Siebenthal-Wild. They ran the business for 33 years and started their family with "the four wonderful daughters Daniela, Brigitte, Steffi and Fränzi" (original quote Peter von Siebenthal!). Peter and Elisabeth led a lively building activity and gave the Hornberg the present form with the present number of buildings.

Today... the 3rd generation

In 2003, the family business went into the next round and Brigitte von Siebenthal together with her partner Christian Hoefliger took over the business and since then continue to run the hotel as the 3rd generation. In 2005 came the "private merger" and the two married, before their two sons - 2006 Ramon and 2008 Mateo - discovered Saanenmöser.
With heart and commitment Elisabeth and Peter remained still active for our guests. Peter passed away in May 2016, but you will still be able to meet Elisabeth at some of our guided hikes or while tending the flowers or in the restaurant. The spirit of those days lives on in Brigitte & Christian and all Hornberg employees: to welcome every guest with openness, humility and cordiality and to always put their well-being in the foreground in all matters.
