Corippo, Switzerland's smallest municipality, faced depopulation with only nine elderly residents in 2019. To revitalize the village, local officials established the Corippo Albergo Diffuso, an innovative hotel model where accommodation is spread across restored historic buildings. This initiative aims to boost tourism and preserve local culture, allowing visitors to experience life among the few remaining locals. Under new management since 2022, the Albergo Diffuso now features ten rooms and seeks to attract visitors to this picturesque hamlet in the Southern Alps, which previously seemed frozen in time.
"In 2019, it was on the brink of becoming a ghost town as its population dwindled to just nine residents, all of whom were elderly."
"The Fondazione Corippo, a local organization tasked with preserving the village, came up with the idea of Corippo Albergo Diffuso to boost the local economy after many residents left the area."
