Where does the name Edelweiss come from?
Edelweiss is a mountain plant. Known for its rarity, its name comes from the German words ‘edel’, which means noble, and ‘weiss’ for the colour white. In Switzerland, the edelweiss is a true national emblem and is depicted on the 5 Swiss franc coin. In the Tyrol, and in the Alpine region in general, the edelweiss represents purity and love, and it is customary for the bridegroom to offer a bouquet to his bride on their wedding day.
You will find many references to the edelweiss flower in the hotel decorations (curtains, wall lights, cushions...) as a tribute to local and ancestral traditions...
