The Braunbär Hotel & Spa is what traditional Swiss ski stays are all about. The hotel gets the balance of cosy and modern just right, with lots of natural wood and fleecy throws throughout, and a log fire in the lounge adding that oh-so snug mountain lodge feel. From the kids play area to the comfy rooms, and the friendly local staff, settling in for a fun and relaxing stay is a breeze.
You’re onto a winner location-wise too. Step outside, and you’re on Wengen’s pedestrianised main street, with the beautiful Bernese Alps all around you. Most importantly, it's strolling distance to the nursery slopes and Männlichen cable car, so you’ll be slope swooshing in no time.
Back at the hotel, bar time and spa time are both on the après agenda. Stash the ski gear and grab your towel for a swim and a sauna. Then once you’ve freshened up, sip a tipple with a live music soundtrack. The food’s a treat too, with lip-smacking plates of alpine fare to fill you up after a day’s skiing. And for something extra special, you can splash out on a group meal in the Grillkota to feast on raclette. Here as a couple? Book the ‘Number 100’ gondola and enjoy a cheesy fondue treat for two instead.

Tourist Tax
In some resorts, you’ll need to pay a small fee called a ‘tourist tax' at your accommodation, either when you check in or check out.
These taxes can change at short notice, so it’s always worth checking the latest details before you travel.
Good to know: Not all accommodation accepts card payments for taxes, so you may need to pay in cash instead. For some countries, tourist taxes are calculated based on an accommodation's official rating, which can be different to its rating on our/the operators site.
