We stayed here for four glorious nights in July. Very easy to get to, about the second building or so as you walk out of the gondola. We had our backpack, but if you have suitcases, it would be very easy to pull them along for a very short distance to the Pension. The people were very friendly and accommodating... More

I had the pleasure of staying at the pension two weeks ago at the end of September. As a single traveler who had been to Gimmelwald twice before and stayed at the Mountain hostel, which I have a soft spot in my heart for, I wanted to have a little more space at the end of my 3 weeks of... More

We loved our 4 night stay at the pension Gimmelwald. The staff was fantastic, friendly and helpful with traveling and with hikes. LOVED that they had a guitar hanging on the wall for anyone to play. LOVED the patio with the view of the alps and the alpenglow sunsets. Only downside was that the wifi was not very good wherever... More

What a breathtaking view! Pension Gimmelwald is strategically located fronting the snowcap mountain. And its just few minutes from the cablecar. The place is neat. The comfort room and our room is so tidy. And they have this most comfortable part of the pension house, its the couch outside facing the mountain. Love to have coffee there and some great... More

We went into this trip not really having high expectations but were blown away by the experience we had here at Pension Gimmelwald. It was by no means a high end hotel but it was everything anyone would need. We had a clean comfortable room and this was the first time we had to "share" a bathroom and it was... More

We felt like we were staying in a creaky old summer-camp cabin, and we enjoyed every minute of it. The carpet is threadbare, the furniture is tired, and the shared bathrooms are simply functional, but that's all part of the charm. You're in Gimmelwald to live simply, and that's what you get at the Pension. The views are mind-blowing, and... More

We traveled to Switzerland with aspirations to find Swiss culture. We found Gimmelwald and thought it would be a wonderful place to stay in the Swiss Alps. Pension Gimmelwald is a clean and cozy place, wonderful staff, but our expectations were to experience traditional Swiss culture. The hotel is owned by a great English couple, but were we’re looking for... More

This is a low-key, no frills place in a beautiful setting, with exceptional views of the mountains. The food is excellent and the rooms are very comfortable. The best part is the very friendly and extremely friendly staff and the location in the quiet town of gimmelwald.

While hiking in the Swiss Alps, my husband and I made the Pension in Gimmewald our home base. It was a wonderful experience to stay in the small community of Gimmelwald, and the people at the Pension could not have been nicer! If you're looking for a four-star hotel, this isn't it, but I think it beats out the bunk-bed-style-Mountain... More
