– 12 – OUR HIGHLIGHTS F L Ü E L I - R A N F T WHERE NIKLAUS VON FLÜE AND DOROTHEE WYSS LIVED AND WORKED We like to ponder life’s big questions in and around Flüeli-Ranft. The village is gloriously nestled amid hilly terrain; the Ranft – a natural terrace overlooking the Melchaa gorge – is where St. Niklaus von Flüe (1417–1487) lived. Settling here as a hermit in 1468 under the modest name Brother Klaus, this is where he worked as a counsellor, mediator and peacemaker. “ A N O A S I S O F P E A C E A N D R E F L E C T I O N ” SUMMER UND WINTER OUR TOP 3 Adventure “M I S S I O N K L A U S ” P U Z Z L E T R A I L History R E S I D E N C E A N D B I R T H P L A C E O F N I K L A U S V O N F L Ü E Architecture J U G E N D S T I L- H O T E L PA XMO N TA N A Discover now: Niklaus von Flüe’s birthplace and the house where he lived with his wife Dorothee Wyss and their children prior to his withdrawal from the public eye are now meeting places that bear witness to the way life here was lived in the late Middle Ages.
