My father-in-law in Swiss Alps, 1976. Can anyone identify the lodge in background? We're heading to Switzerland and would love to visit spots he saw. Distinctive chalet-style building, parking lot, mountains. Any help pinpointing this location is appreciated!

It’s at the valley station to the Säntis, called Schwägalp.

It’s the Säntis in the background. Definitely a good choice for a visit.
