Visit the Swiss Chalet - Pampilhosa

Chalet Suiço, located in the Parish of Pampilhosa, was built in 1886, an inn for travelers who, when changing trains in Pampilhosa, had to spend the night there
Paul Bergamim, a Swiss from the Italian canton, obtained concessions from the bars along the Beira Alta Line and built in the so-called "Entroncamento da Pampilhosa" the mother house, where he settled down and created conditions for rest and sleep of illustrious passers-by. It is a common voice that King D. Carlos stopped there to rekindle spent forces in the long hours by train.
