Hi all! I’m currently on a solo hiking trip across Switzerland and planning to stay near trailheads in small towns like Wasserauen, Appenzell, Linthal, Bettmeralp, and a few others.

I’m struggling to find accommodation—most places don’t show up on Airbnb or Booking.com. Google Maps lists some hotels and guesthouses, but many of them don’t have websites or contact numbers, so I’m not sure how to reach out or make a reservation.

Any tips on how to book stays in these smaller towns? Are there local platforms or booking methods I should be using? I’d really appreciate any help!
