Can you play padel in pairs?
Padel is usually played as a doubles match (2 against 2).
A 1-on-1 match on a standard court is also possible – in this case, the ball is played cross-court. Singles is particularly good for improving technique and fitness, as you have to hit every ball yourself.
Is padel played with a tennis ball?
No, padel is not played with standard tennis balls, but with special padel balls. These are similar to tennis balls, but are slightly softer and have less bounce to make the game more dynamic. If you don’t have your own balls, you can purchase them when booking.
Is there anywhere to eat or drink near the padel court?
The Hotel Altein’s pool bar is open daily from 2.00 pm to 7.00 pm, weather permitting. The Alpensand restaurant is open from 11.00 am to 11.00 pm.
Please leave the court tidy.

What is Padel
In recent years, the sport was mainly popular in Spain and South America, but has now become the new trend sport in Switzerland as well. Many former and current top athletes play padel, making the sport accessible to the general public.
The game rules are similar to tennis, but Padel is played on a smaller court surrounded by glass walls and grid. Unlike other games, padel is usually played in doubles. The aim, like in tennis, is to hit the ball over the net into the opponent's field using special rackets, whereby the ball may also touch the glass wall.
