Excellent hotel with a rich history, fabulous service, great location and fantastic vibe. We stayed for a week in the hotel and booked halfboard. Breakfast was really good with lots of choice and all was fresh. Diner was 4 course meal which had lots of variations and if you wanted to change something it was always possible. Thanks for excellent stay, Familie Gabriela und Gerhard Michel-Breitenstein

It felt somewhat inspiring having our apero on the veranda of hotel with such history under the infamous Eiga north face. I could imagine the previous guests sitting in the same place either planning their route to the top, watch the many brave climbers making an attempt or perhaps some of the workers that built the tunnel and train line to the Junfraujoch. I would also recommend a trip up there also. The hotel had a very personal and family feel to it, next time i might spend more time in the bar area. Thanks for a lovely stay Gabriela.

A big thank you to Gabriela and Gerhard, what a great place to stay. We booked last minute due to all the covid rules changing, and were very lucky to secure Chalet Hohturnen. This was perfect for our family of 4, everything was great, breakfast, restaurant which we used a couple of times, lovely food and they accommodated our children (which are slightly fussy!). Everything is close by, bus into town, or a short walk, a great selection of restaurants (we would recommend the Golden India). We were so lucky we had sunshine, great place for ski-ing with 2 areas, both excellent for our level of ski-ing (intermediate). Lovely find, I would recommend the Hotel Gletschergarten, I have the mention the lovely beds! Look forward to returning sometime soon, Thanks again - The Smith Family…
