Hotel Baren, Wilderswil

The Hotel Bären, nestled in the village of Wilderswil near Interlaken, is a charming slice of Swiss history, dating back nearly 300 years. Originally a tavern for travellers, it now welcomes guests with its cream walls, green shutters and a bear statue that’s a nod to its name.

Step inside and you'll be wrapped in traditional Swiss hospitality. Wood-panelled walls and ceilings create a homely atmosphere, complemented by traditional wooden furniture and soft beiges, creams, and check fabrics. The Bärenstübli restaurant serves up regional dishes made with fresh, local products – including their very own cheese, made with milk from their cows.

When it’s ski time, you can hop on the train from Wilderswil to Grindelwald for a 25-minute scenic ride to the slopes. Plus, you’ll get a discount on ski storage at Grindelwald Terminal when you stay here, so you can enjoy the ride ski-free.

Please note: Guests staying at the Hotel Bären get a 50% discount on a ski locker at Grindelwald Terminal. This must be booked in advance – just add it when you book by clicking on ‘add ski essentials’.
