Hostel Berggasthaus First

Ski-to-door.

Postfach 138, 3818 Grindelwald, Switzerland –

Oberjoch: only 3 minutes away! (600 feet by foot)

Lock in a great price for Berggasthaus First – rated 8.9 by recent guests!

to get started.

The scenery at night when the crowd already left is stunning and it's an excellent start to walk to Schynigge Platte through Faulhorn.

Philippe, Switzerland

Peggy was great! An amazing location! We basically got the dorm/ entire place to ourselves since it was a little bit off-season.

Caroline, United States of America

The location is really in good walking distance from the main train station and also have supermarket nearby.

Niklas, Finland

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. It is a trek to get up there but is 100% worth it with the perfect ski-in/ski-out location and the view you are rewarded with. I was lucky enough to be the only guest at the hotel one night which was so peaceful and relaxing. Bed and bedding were wonderful and clean and the included breakfast and dinner were delicious and filling! The staff were so friendly (especially Andrea and Annie :) )! Can't say more wonderful things about this place.

Sarah, United States of America

I pretty much loved everything about this place. The location/view (obviously), the hosts, the comfortable beds, and the dinner & breakfast. The weather was terrible and I still loved it so I can only imagine what this place must be like with good weather :D

Hillary, United States of America

Breakfast and dinner was included and both were very good and plentiful. Kitchen would have cooked something separate for the kids had they not liked what was on the menu, which I thought was nice. Great location on top of the mountain. Had the weather been nice, we'd have had a fabulous view from our room. Comfy beds, clean bathroom/shower facilities (separate from room). Hikes start literally outside of the accommodations. Plenty of wild life to observe (chamois & marmots).

Nicole, Switzerland

The views were breathtaking, the Eiger is literally outside your bedroom windows! Super powerful showers too!!

Suzanne, United Kingdom

Awesome view, comfortable beds, relatively easy accessible considering the level above sea (mountain)

Family room, very clean, comfortable The location is extraordinary! An experience in itself. Cliff walk right outside the windows of the room. Staff extremely kind and helpful.

There was confusion with the pricing set by booking and that charged by the guesthouse. We paid 98CHF/person with half board.
The staff was great and we had the most amazing time at their après ski hut! They were able to accommodate some food restrictions we had in our group. Beds are cozy and shower is nice and warm!

“Beautiful and quiet view when the crowd left”

The room without bathroom should be a bit cheaper but it's in line with the fares in the region.
The scenery at night when the crowd already left is stunning and it's an excellent start to walk to Schynigge Platte through Faulhorn.

Shower is so far from the dorms, you have to go down two floors to get there, it's like a maze. Even though the dorm room was practically empty I was assigned a bed right next to Some one (not bunk beds, normal beds). There are hardly any plug sockets in the room. Maybe 4, for about 16 people which is pretty unreasonable. Have to pay for storage lockers.
Staff were really helpful and accommodating, location is lovely, hikes to balchapsee or marmot walk. Very peaceful.
