Eating & Sleeping

At the beginning of a new world - the trip along the mystical Lake Tschingel and on Europe's steepest postbus route is spectacular in itself. On arrival at 1400 metres above sea level, you'll marvel at the magnificent mountain scenery and be charmed by the five closely grouped hotels. 40 rooms from simple to luxurious will meet every wish. New horizons for mind, body and soul in all four seaons.

Our sun terrace offers magnificent views of the snow-capped Blümlisalp in summer and winter. We'll be pleased to serve you roesti prepared on our wood-fired stove, home-made cream slices or many other delicacies, mostly prepared with products from local mountain farms. In summer you can also get close to llamas, alpacas and cows as they graze. Our homely, over 100-year-old rooms and dormitory will tempt you to stay overnight - or maybe even longer.

The Blüemlisalp Hut sits high up on the ridge between Griesalp and the Lake Oeschinen. In the middle of the Blüemlisalp’s breathtaking glacier world, the far-reaching views take in Lake Thun, the Jura mountains, the Vosges in France and even the Feldberg in Germany. On a clear day they seem close enough to touch. On the way to Kandersteg, you can "refuel" with coffee and cake or roesti and beer in the welcoming SAC hut. And of course you can also stay overnight. Hikers and mountaineers enjoy sensational sunsets.

Romantic small hotel & restaurant, sympathetically renovated yet retaining its rustic character. The water meadow at Lake Tschingel is ideal for an evening stroll before enjoying a tasty roesti from our wood-fired stove. After a glass of fine wine, you can relax and daydream to the sound of the babbling stream.

Even if there’s no plaque dedicated to you on Bundalp as there is for Swiss artist Auguste Baud-Bovy, here you can still experience the stunning landscape that inspired him to create his monumental paintings.

The Golderli Mountain Guesthouse at Griesalp nestles on the sunny side of the valley, surrounded by the majestic mountains of the Bernese Oberland. It is located a little above the terminus of Europe's steepest mountain postbus route. Open in both summer and winter as a starting point, for a stopover or simply for enjoyment. Golderli is right in the heart of the action for hiking, glacier tours, ski tours, climbing tours, high-Alpine tours and snowshoe treks.

The perfect place to switch off and relax. Hotel Waldrand combines nature, ambience and a friendly atmosphere in unique fashion. Enjoy breathtaking views of the Dünden Falls, the character and the nostalgic charm of the century-old timber building and the warmth of the host family. Even the Swiss Heritage Society was impressed by these qualities and recommends Hotel Waldrand in its publication: Die schönsten Hotels der Schweiz (The most beautiful hotels in Switzerland).

The Gspaltenhorn Hut perches like an eagle's nest high above the Gamchi Glacier. The views of the nearby north faces are imposing and the hut is well worth reaching for the romantic sunsets. A day trip or an overnight stay is always an unforgettable experience!
