The Alpenhof residency hotel is an inspiring location for a retreat and working, with opportunities for exchange and relaxation. Overlooking the Rhine Valley and Lake Constance, landscape conjoins with lingering; the Alpstein mountains with a sea of fog. The Alpenhof itself, with its rooms, grand halls, terraces, and the music room, is open to guests from far and wide, as well as all kinds of encounters. Depending on the bookings, the hotel can be either busily lively or peacefully quiet. The residency on-site is self-organized. For each recipient of a studio grant, there is a private bedroom available with an individual area for working.

Further facilities include the shared kitchen, dining and living rooms, and the library.

Accommodations and use of the studio are free-of-charge, and travel costs are also covered. A separate request can be made for an additional subsidy for living costs of up to CHF 250/week. Artistic production costs must be covered privately.
