    Real authentic Swiss mountain village feel. Great view from double bed family room. Nice breakfast. Cozy restaurant. Great stone fire pizza. Informal family vibes.

    Beautiful location (right in front of Gimmelwald Cableway Station), simple complementary breakfast and excellent bar sums up my single day stay here. We lit a campfire outside, grabbed couple of drinks from the bar & chit-chatted with everyone...
