Where Alpine Charm meets All-inclusive Adventure
Classic warmth, modern ease, with meals, drinks and experiences included.
A century of mountain hospitality
Alpine charm at the foot of the Berg
Nestled at the foot of the Northern Drakensberg and overlooking the iconic Amphitheatre, Little Switzerland Resort has welcomed guests for over a century. What began as a tea garden has evolved into a warm and characterful mountain retreat, where thatched roofs, wood-framed interiors and manicured gardens frame panoramic views of one of South Africa’s most dramatic landscapes.
Today, this historic hideaway enters a new chapter.
Little Switzerland is now a fully immersive all-inclusive mountain escape, where generous dining, refreshing drinks, curated activities and daily entertainment are all part of one effortless stay.
