Words can't truly describe how beautiful this place is. After traveling the world for more than 30 years, I can honestly say this quaint mountainside pension is one of the most incredible places I've ever stayed. The service is exceptional, the staff and Sabine, make you feel at home from the moment you arrive. Their warmth, hospitality, and genuine kindness.. Thank you again for such a memorable experience!! -Kurt

We had an absolutely magical stay. Loved reading in the morning, sledding in the afternoon, and exploring the village of Gimmelwald and Murren. We thoroughly enjoyed breakfast and dinners in the pension as well as nightly beer and hot chocolate.

The pension is part of “old Gimmelwald” so is a bit creaky with community bathrooms, but it is charming because of that. The staff were amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
