Some hosts also offer their guests special Experiences near the water: a Dinner inclusive Sailing trip by moonlight, a hike in combination with Yoga at the lake or a Walk at full moon to the waterfall.

To the BnB blog 

In mid-August, shooting stars rain down over the Alps.

We reveal Switzerland's darkest stargazing spots and the loveliest B&Bs and mountain huts nearby. We wish you clear skies, plenty of shooting stars, and at least one wish that comes true.
