Krone Säumerei am Inn: reaching the divine in the heavenly heights of the Swiss Alps

This autumn, a viral trend has swept social media platforms. So far, ‘hoa hoa hoa season’ has had several million hits on TikTok, a reference to our teenage obsession with the Twilight movies, and specifically to the song Eyes on Fire by Blue Foundation, which features on the film’s soundtrack. The ‘hoa hoa hoa’ sound is a direct reference to the moody vocals that carry the song, perfectly capturing protagonist Bella Swan’s (Kristen Stewart) melancholy romance with vampire boyfriend, Edward (Robert Pattinson).

But enough about Twilight, the reason the song is going viral now is because of the film’s dramatic, mountainous, and blissfully autumnal setting. In the US, fans of the film are flocking to Forks in Washington. While in Europe, there’s only one place to go to live out your Bella Swan fantasy: the Alps, of course. Specifically, the Swiss Alps’ Engadine valley in all its breathtaking glory. For those looking for an idyllic stay alongside the stunning scenery, Krone Säumerei am Inn is an escape that stimulates all of the senses — particularly the taste buds.
