Spectacular surroundings. The quietness after the last cable car goes down. Very friendly staff. Great food. Value for money. Quiet at night. Warm bedroom. Nice bed sheets. Awesome breakfast.
GermanyLocation was amazing. Layout of family room is good! The overnight staff member on July 22, 2020 (we didn’t get his name) was very helpful and welcoming. Having access to the mountain when the gondola stops for the night was spectacular. A truly unique experience!
GermanyI LOVED the tomato soup I had during my dinner :) The location is exceptional. Saw a small orange wolf outside my window, while I was enjoying the sunset from the cottage dorm. I absolutely loved it.
IndiaLocation is fantastic. Enjoy the peak after all crowd return down to the town. Easy Access to ski slope. . Room was neat and clean. Good view of the valley and mountain peak.
ChinaIt was extremely quiet and the person who worked there helped me so much
United States of AmericaThe location is absolute breathtaking, great for end of hiking day from schynige platte. and once all the tourists are gone, it makes perfect photos. The dinner was fair, and the breakfast was very simple (bread, yogurt, cereals, ham and cheese) but ok. The staff lady was super nice and friendly. The shared bathrooms and showers are the cleanest I've seen
IsraelAn incredible location with spectacular views of the mountains. Staff were exceptional. Food was great. Super relaxing and peaceful after the crowds left with the last gondola down the mountain. Amazing to have such a spacious, well equipped mountain lodge at this elevation. Couldn't imagine a nicer place to stay!
United States of AmericaFriendly staff, plenty of space & perfect views! Highly recommended
SwitzerlandCan't beat the location. Before the "regular" tourists come up in the morning and after they leave in the evening, you have the privilege of enjoying this little piece of heaven all by yourself. Room and bathroom super clean and very comfortable. Breakfast and dinner were delicious, served by super personable and friendly staff. Thanks to Valentin and Elsbeth for a great vacation!
United States of AmericaThe scenery at night when the crowd already left is stunning and it's an excellent start to walk to Schynigge Platte through Faulhorn.
