    Berghaus Maenndlenen-Weberhuette might be an interesting place for hikers, who would like to do one of the most scenic hikes in the Berner Oberland :
    From Giessbach to Axalp, from there to Faulhorn and via Schynigge platte to Wilderswil and back to Giessbach.
    All of that path cannot be done in 1 single day, so it might make sense to reserve a bed in this simply alpine hostel.
    Berghaus Maenndlenen-Weberhuette is one of the 2 restaurant and also a quite simple "hotel" along the hiking-path between Schynigge Platte and First. See their webpage below, they offer 30 seats in the small restaurant and a lot more at the terrace and they provide a "Massenlager" for 50 people .
    it is rather a row of matresses than beds, but who cares about that in such a lovely scenery !!

    Make reservations for a matress as long time in advance as possible !!!
    Berghaus Maendlenen-Weberhuette is open Mid June-mid October
    a matress is 28 sfr, matress & breakfast is 36 sfr
    a matress with halfpension it is 52sfr

    I had a great goulaschsoup, a really big portion, a lot of bread and an excellent Rauchwurst (smoked sausage). The scenery is great and make sure, you will not miss that romantic place to powder your nose !! (see my last picture)

    Parkhotel Giessbach: a hotel like in the glorious days of tourism

  • Grandhotel Giessbach is the only hotel in Giessbach and it is certainly one of the most romantic hotels that you may find all over Switzerland : It was built in 1855 - just opposite of the village of Brienz, on top of a rock overlooking Brienzersee and next to a really scenic waterfall. The most glorious times for the hotel had been between 1870 and 1914 but afterwards tourism changed a lot and it was hard to fill the rooms of such a remote hotel.
    In 1985 it was restored and it looks really great again also from inside !! In Grandhotel Giessbach you may still breath the good old times, that seem to have stood still for ages there... Click on my pictures in order to see the great details of architecture !

    Parkhotel Giessbach is an elegant hotel with a wonderful interior and at a very special setting next to the waterfall and overlooking the Briezersee. And it is far away from the noises of modern trafic, a different world for itself and a place to relax and forget about the hectic rest of the world...

    The Faulhorn-hotel might be a good place to stay, when taking one of the many full-day-hikes high above Giessbach, because besides Axalp (a place that is really very close to Giessbach) there is only the Faulhorn Hotel and the one at Berghaus Maenndlenen-Weberhuette available.
    The Hotel on top of the Faulhorn in a height of 2681meters above sea-level is not only the highest alpine hotel, but also the oldest. It dates back to the year 1830 and the first tourists were taken there by horses or alpine-chairs, carried by locals. Today you may at least take the cable-car to First and have to hike the rest - about 2 hours on a partly quite steep path) in order to be able to enjoy the 360 degree-panorama with Eiger - Moench - Jungfrau - Wetterhorn - Schreckhorn - Brienzer Rothorn and many more.
    The hotel and restaurant are open daily
    between end of june and October 20th !!
    for other dates, you better phone them in advance !!

    In Faulhorn-hotel you are really off the beaten path - it is besides Weberhuette the only hotel and restaurant at the hiking-path between Schynigge Platte and First.
    click here for a 360 dregree-panorama from Faulhorn !

    Alpengasthof: a cheap hotel high above Giessbach

  • Alpengasthof is high above Giessbach and might be a much cheaper place to stay than the noble Parkhotel Giessbach. The hotel was built completely by wood, only at some few points of the foundations there are small concrete-blocks. Living in such a wooden building is really interesting, because it is a lot more cosy than a modern building. Alpengasthof is my favorite hotel and restaurant, simply because this hotel has a special meaning to me :It was called "Kurhaus Axalp" before,and there I started my carreer in the hotelbusiness plenty of years ago. I was a young austrian student looking for a well-payed job and it is a lot of fun for me today to think back of my first severe struggles with the terrible Swiss-german-dialect and hundreds of young skiers, driving me crazy with their orders....

    Alpengasthof includes also a seperate part with rooms for school-classes and large groups of up to 50 persons, sleeping in large rooms with just a lot of matresses set one after the other.
    Arvenstube is a cosy seperate room of the restaurant, you may smell the special kind of wood that was used to build the walls of this room : ARVE is some sort of a pine-tree that grows mainly in Switzerland.
    To drive to Axalp by your own car is possible , but NOT advisable ! The road is mostly really narrow and has just a very few passing-places.
