Hotel Faulhorn: the first mountain-hotel history

Hotel Faulhorn is a place high above Wilderswil and it will be a great place for a stop-over when you are doing the scenic mountain-hike from Schynige Platte to Grindelwald First. Of course you may do this hike also easily within a single day,when you start early in the morning, BUT what may be more beautiful than a sunset or sundown seen from a mountain-hotel.
The Hotel on top of the Faulhorn with 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 to hike 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 from Faulhorn.
The hotel and restaurant are open daily
between end of june and October 20th !!
for other dates, you better phone them in advance !!

Unique Quality: In Faulhorn-hotel you are really totally off the beaten path - it is the only hotel and restaurant at the hiking-path between Schynigge Platte and First, besides Webernhuette of course.

Motel LUNA: cheaper than Interlaken & great ambiente

Motel Luna is a place, where I was working many years ago for 1 year and I may highly recommend this motel for everyone, who comes to the area in order to explore the Jungfrau Region and wants to stay outside of the hectic and much more expensive hotels of Interlaken.
The Motel is at one side of the street and there are plenty of parking-lots and a large meadow to relax. When you cross the street you will get to the restaurant-Tea-room LUNA, that is where you will have breakfast and may also dine for reasonable prices.

Unique Quality: Especially when you arrive by car you will find it convenient, that you have plenty of free parking-spaces around the hotel. Within a few minutes you will be at the highway to Bern or Brienz without even touching to trafic-jams of Interlaken.

Berghaus Maendlenen-Weberhuette: high above Wilderswil

Berghaus Maenndlenen-Weberhuette is a real 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 .
A Massenlager 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

Unique Quality: 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 !!
