Hotel Alpenblick

Hotel Alpenblick sits on Obere Gletscherstrasse — the upper glacier road — in Grindelwald, with a rooftop terrace and garden that face the Eiger Nordwand directly. The hotel provides a free buffet breakfast each morning from 7 am, a restaurant and bar, free local shuttle, ski storage, luggage storage and a front desk that handles tour and lift-ticket bookings. The position on the higher road puts it slightly away from the village noise while still within walking distance of the Pfingstegg gondola to the Steinschlag and Bäregg glacier viewpoints. Grindelwald's Eiger Express gondola station at the terminal is a short shuttle ride or brisk walk downhill. Above Alpenblick, the path to the Pfingstegg gorge and the Lower Grindelwald Glacier begins just metres away. Bachalpsee — a high-alpine lake reflecting the Schreckhorn and Wetterhorn peaks — is reachable via the First gondola and a one-hour walk. The Jungfraujoch railway leaves from Grindelwald Grund station, and snowboard parks and ski lessons on the Männlichen side serve all levels. A rooftop terrace for mountain sunsets and a picnic area complete the appeal for guests who want genuine Bernese Oberland scenery without a crowded resort centre.
