The best hotels in Grindelwald

What are the best hotels in Grindelwald?

Grindelwald is the sort of Alpine village that makes you want to reach for your walking boots, with the Eiger towering overhead, glaciers and gorges on the doorstep, and some seriously spectacular mountain scenery all around. There’s 160km of skiing in winter and hundreds of kilometres of trails in summer, so you’re never short of things to do. Hotel Alte Post is our top pick for traditional Alpine charm, while Bergwelt Grindelwald is the one to choose for a more luxurious stay, with a gorgeous spa, smart rooms and brilliant Eiger views.
