Incredible view on top of a mountain in the Swiss Alps, there's nothing like it! Extremely pricey given that they don't have showers or much for the "free" breakfast, but it's definitely worth it. All the supplies are air lifted in by helicopter which explains the outrageous prices - 10 frank for a water bottle, for example. Just come prepared... More

Berghotel Faulhorn is on the very peak of Faulhorn - the view is just absolutely spectacular. The building is historic and cosy. There is no heating, but you get hot water bottles at reception;-) The staff is very helpful.

My gf and I loved this hotel, the hike from First is amazing. It is quite dependent on weather, though. When we hiked up the mountain was completely engulfed in cloud so you couldnt see more than 15 feet or so, which I liked because I could pretend I was in some kind of horror movie like the mist lol,...

We stayed at this mountain inn while on a self-guided hiking tour of the Bernese Oberland arranged for us by Alpenwild. To get there we took a lift from Grindelwald to First, then hiked to Buchalpsee and then to Faulhorn. It was a great hike, though overcast, and at time raining heavily with thunderstorms. It snowed overnight (August 3!!!), but... More

I stayed with my family for one night. A really wonderful experience. We meet other travellers and the staff were great. Good simple, hot food and a great welcome. Good job really as the weather was awful - heavy rain and thunder storms. I'm sure the views are amazing but we didin't see a thing. Don't underestimate the location -... More

There's nothing like hanging out at the summit of the Faulhorn, and this hotel makes it all possible. I would set out on your hike early enough to arrive by dinnertime. Dinner menu ends at 7:30 pm. After that, they serve soup, sausage and bread. Hearty enough, but perhaps you were craving something else. The 30 person dorm rooms really... More
