Hvorfor folk elsker det
- The 'Fire & Ice' spa with its heated outdoor pool facing the Eiger
- Free minibar stocked with soft drinks and beer replenished daily
- Breakfast buffet that guests consistently call 'exceptional' and 'grand'
Hurtig oversikt: A stunning alpine showpiece that nails the visuals but struggles with temperature control in the summer.
Gjennomgått av @daydrooler: I spent the dreamiest weekend here. The transition from the freezing mountain air into that steaming outdoor pool was unforgettable—and yes, the hotel provides those cute earmuffs! It felt like a private winter wonderland.

Reality check
The lighting in the rooms is aggressively moody (read: dark), and rooms near the elevator suffer from noticeable noise.
- You appreciate 'alpine chic' design over traditional rustic decor
- You are comfortable with European spa culture (naked saunas)
- You want a hotel that feels like a destination in itself, not just a place to sleep

FAQ & Skjulte tips
Alt du faktisk vil vite før du bestiller.
Is there air conditioning?
Technically yes in some descriptions, but practically no. Guests consistently report warm rooms in summer and rely on open windows and fans.
Is the spa naked?
Partially. The 'Sauna Landscape' (steam, salt, fire saunas) is a textile-free (nude) zone. The pools and atrium are textile (swimsuit) zones.
How much is parking?
CHF 28 (approx. $32 USD) per night for the underground garage.
Is breakfast included?
Usually yes, and it's a highlight. Check your specific rate, but most bookings include the extensive buffet.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, dogs are welcome for a fee of CHF 35 per night, though they are not allowed in the spa or restaurant.
Is it ski-in/ski-out?
Close to it. You can ski almost to the door depending on snow conditions, and the ski bus/train station is very close.
