The "Cäsar Ritz Life Route" is a bilingual, self-explanatory, and chronologically structured themed path. It offers the hiker around five kilometers of interesting and informative insights into the life and work of the world-famous Goms hotel genius Cäsar Ritz. The route choice of the path was adapted to the life of Cäsar Ritz: a bumpy, rocky start that levels out and finally opens to wide paths. On the six information boards you learn more about the world-renowned "Ritz philosophy": principles that place great value on comprehensive hospitality, gastronomy, boundless luxury, and sophisticated architecture, thus making the hotel as an overall artwork a place where kings stay. The information boards were placed at locations whose special features symbolize the respective life phase of "Ritz."
