Berggasthaus First

For an unforgettable lunch in the Alps, Berggasthaus in Grindelwald is exceptional. The food was extraordinary, and the house wine perfectly complemented the meal. Considering the quality and the breathtaking, impeccable mountain view, the price–quality ratio is absolutely worth it. A special thank you to Ruxi, who was incredibly friendly, took time to talk with us, and gave excellent recommendations. Thanks to her, we tried the Swiss cheese fondue — and it was wow, truly superior to anything you can find in town or nearby. The entire staff was very kind and always available, making our lunch a truly memorable experience. Highly recommended.

We chose to stay at the hotel for our weekend getaway (Fr/Sat) and it was the best decision ever (2 people). Even though I only managed to ski for a short time and injured my knee on Friday, which shifted the whole Saturday plan, it was very pleasant to spend time on the grounds around the hotel, and on the terrasse while my partner went to ski. The experience of staying up there after the slopes close is one of a kind as well, just as waking up before everyone else arrives. Everyone on the team was incredibly nice, lighthearted, and helpful. Watching them interact with the local gang of Alpine choughs in a gentle manner says a lot about them as well - it was great to see, plus the birds themselves are quite amusing. The dinner service was much more than we expected and the food was very tasty - the salad stole my heart. Breakfast buffet is a perfect way to start the day in a slow, comfortable way with a variety of items to choose from, plus the Sirocco tea they have is absolutely fantastic - I am going to order myself a box or two. Our room (8) was cozy and warm (1 double bed + 2 single beds). The sound doesn't seem to carry much from the dining area/bar, just some sporadic noise of either service or maintenance nearby, but it quiets down long before 11 PM. The dawn duvets are also incredibly comfortable and I wish I asked about the brand because I would love one for myself. Facilities are clean and well maintained, both the ones dedicated to hotel guests and the public ones. A picknick area where you can eat your own food is quite big and you can even score a spot next to the heater. There is a dedicated room for all your skiing equipment and luggage as well, and there are a few lockers (2 CHF) you can use for your valuables. Overall we are happy with our stay and highly recommend trying it out!
