Latest Wilderswil hotel reviews
globetrott Says: Alpengarten Schynige Platte is a great place to go for the whole family. A path of 500 meters is leading you through a garden, where you may see all of the 500 different flowers that are growing in the alpine regions of Switzerland. Not all of them are blooming at the same...
Saegistalsee - a lovely lake close to Faulhorn
globetrott Says: Saegistalsee is the name of the small mountain-lake that you will pass by in a short distance, when taking the scenic hiking-path from Schynige Platte to Faulhorn and finally to Grindelwald/First. Saegistalsee is in the hight of 1937 meters above sea-level, at about half of...
Schynige Platte - high above Wilderswil
globetrott Says: Schynige Platte is a mountain-plateau high above Wilderswil and a tiny cog-wheel-train is taking you up a breath-taking track to one of the less popular hiking-areas of the Jungfrau-region.Schynige Platte is in a height of 1967 meters above sea-level and offers various...
Bachalpsee & an (almost) perfect reflection
globetrott Says: Bachalpsee might be the last highlight of your hike from Wilderswil / Schynige Platte to First and Grindelwald : Bachalpsee is for sure one of the most beautiful mountain-lakes of the area and you will see it at many postcards and posters with the mountains reflecting in the...
Faulhorn - a great day-excursion
globetrott Says: Faulhorn in a hight of 2681 meters above sea-level is one of these places in the Jungfrau-region that you may only hike to, although there is quite a large hotel and restaurant and you may get there from Wilderswil, when you take first the train to Schynige Platte and go...
the old wooden houses in the centre of Wilderswil
globetrott Says: In the centre of Wilderswil - close to the church and the wooden bridge - you will find some really beautiful wooden houses in the traditional swiss style. In many other places these types of houses are modern replicas, but in Wilderswil they date back plenty of centuries...
the covered wooden bridge of Wilderswil
globetrott Says: The covered wooden bridge of Wilderswil is one of my favorite sights of that small village ! It is interesting to see this old construction standing now for so many decades or even centuries, still in everyday use by all people driving or walking to the church. That river...
globetrott Says: The old church of Wilderswil is a must, when you pass by this charming village by car on your way to Grindelwald or Lauterbrunnen. At first you will come to a giant entrance-hall that was onviously ment as a first shelter for the people, who arrived for church-service by...
Steve-H Says: There isn't too much to do here, there are a few hotels to accomodate the spillover from Interlaken but the only reason we had for being here was to catch the train.
Motel LUNA: cheaper than Interlaken & great ambiente
globetrott Says: 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...
Berghotel Schynige Platte: in a great scenery
globetrott Says: Berghotel Schynige Platte might be a perfect place to spend a night before you start to take the hike to Grindelwald-First in combination with the other great sights that would take too much time to be done all at the same day : teddyland, Alpine-garden, the great views from...
Restaurant LUNA & La Cabane: my favorite place
globetrott Says: Restaurant LUNA is my favorite restaurant in Wilderswil. Plenty of years ago I was working there for 2 seasons as a waiter and remember this place as the best I ever have been working in Switzerland. AND that does not only mean that the working-conditions were great, BUT...
the cog-wheel-train to Schynige Platte
globetrott Says: The old cog-wheel-train to Schynige Platte starts in Wilderswil, at a side-track of the ordinary station, so you simply have to step to another platform, when you arrive from Interlaken. That train will take you to Schynige Platte in a height of 1967 meters above sea-level...
globetrott Says: Regionalpass Berner Oberland is certainly the better deal in many cases, when you choose Wilderswil as your base to explore the wider area of Jungfrau-Region, including Brienz and a lot more, BUT you better calculate that for yourself:The Regional-Pass Berner Oberland is...
The cablecar from FIRST to Grindelwald
globetrott Says: FIRST is the name of a mountain high above Grindelwald and I mention it here, because it might be an essential means of transportation, when you are going to do some hikes from Schynige Platte to Faulhorn and First. It makes sense to study the time-table of that cablecar...
globetrott Says: There are various train-combination-tickets for the area around Wilderswil and Jungfraubahnen-Pass is the first one I may recdommend:It will depend on the duration of your vacation and of course also on a good weather-forecast and it might make sense to buy this special...
LOWA: Test your perfect hiking-shoes
globetrott Says: LOWA-Testcentre is a really good idea, because it is a shop inside the top-station of Schynigge Platte-bahn and you may choose a pair of mountain-boots there, leave back your Manolo Blahniks and test the mountain-boots before you will eventually buy them !! You may test them...
always stay on the hiking-paths !
globetrott Says: Especially when you get to the end of your hike and see First-station in a distance already you might get the idea to take a walk through the meadows in order to save some timeand catch the cablecar in the last minute...This could be really dangerous, because parts of these...
Don't totally count on the shelter-huts !!
globetrott Says: Don't count totally on any of the various shelter-huts that you may find in your hiking-maps !! Most of them might be good for a short break in nasty weather, like hail, snow-storms etc., BUT as a place to spend the night cheaply and easily they will mostly be totally out of...

Q: Hi, will be grateful for suggestions for scenic day hikes around Wilderswil/Schynige Platte in late February
A: First thing to ask is how experienced you are with walking in mountains in winter? Even in late May I've seen good falls of snow on Schynige Platte - over half a metre in...

From our hotel in Interlaken it was about a 1km walk to the pretty little town of Wilderswil where we caught all our trains to various places in the alps. From here we went to the mighty Jungfraujoch...
