Pension Gimmelwald

I had an amazing stay here for 3 nights, I wish I had longer. Stunningly beautiful location, wonderfully rustic and authentic Swiss pension. They brew their own beer, which is delicious. The staff and owner (as well as their family) were all lovely and fun to be around. They also make sure to go the extra mile for guests to make sure that you have a comfortable stay, I felt like I was staying with my own family. Highly, highly recommend.

Truly memorable. Our room was very spacious and the pension was everything it was supposed to be on the inside. We shared common bathrooms but never had to wait. The only thing we really missed was a water kettle or microwave in the room or lobby. Gimmewald village was stunning, easily the most beautiful place we have visited ever. Every time we stepped out of the pension and took a walk, we were treated to magnificent views in every direction. The walk from Murren down to Gimmewald (40 minutes) was quite easy on our bodies, but did wonders for our spirit. Incredibily beautiful. A walk at dawn or dusk was magical, with the deep silence in the village and snowy peaks all around you. The cable car station was under 5 minutes away, with frequent departures up to Murren or down to Lauterbrunen (via Stechelberg) , both hardly 10-15 minutes away. Both these places have COOP grocery stores you can stock up from for your stay at Gimmewald. The Flexible Swiss Travel Pass is really handy, you can cable car/train at will. Thanks to Rick Steves of Seattle, we would have never found Gimmewald without him. We found out that it was due to Rick that most visitors to Gimmewald end up there! We have never gone wrong with Rick over all our travels all over Europe in the past 15 years.

I loved my stay at Pension Gimmelwald. I stayed for 5 nights and wished it could have been longer. It is 2 minutes from the lift, so very easily accessible. The room was simple and comfortable, and the showers and toilets down the hall were clean and I never had to wait. Sabine and David are lovely hosts, and she is a fabulous cook! I got the half board and was very glad I did. Gimmelwald is quiet and peaceful and the views are just incredible. Sitting on the terrace with a drink and watching the sunset is an experience I won't ever forget.

We had a wonderful stay at Pension Gimmelwald. Sabine, David and their staff were super attentive and friendly. After arriving a bit late on our first evening (taking one of the last cable cars up to Gimmelwald) we found Sabine waiting patiently, greeting us with a smile and a drink. Pension Gimmelwald is truly charming and pleasantly rustic. A real down-to-earth, family atmosphere pervades, with cozy furnishings, board games and travel books in the den and restaurant area, and a warm glow all around. Opening our window on the first morning to the sights and sounds of this beautiful mountain village was a magical experience. Our room was comfortable and clean, as were the shared bathroom facilities. Despite the poor weather, we could not have asked for a nicer stay, and the cost was very reasonable. While poor weather prevented the hoped-for hiking further up the mountain, the trek up to the waterfalls of Chilchbalm was really cool. Our only regret is that we wish we had more time to enjoy this amazing place.

Had an amazing time in this cute family run Pension in a lovely quaint village up in the Swiss Alps. Words cannot express how much we enjoyed our stay surrounded by nature and mountains and with wonderful happy family of Sabine and David and their cute and endearing children as hosts. The accommodation itself is very comfortable and extremely clean and especially charming with the views all around and the company of the hosts. It was a pleasure chatting with Sabine over her delicious home cooked dinner. Cosy, warm and homely - we truly enjoyed our experience at Pension Gimmelwald and would love to visit again definitely for a longer stay!

Nach 30 Jahren im nun geschlossenen Hotel Mittaghorn, eine würdige Alternative. Gemütliche Zimmer, gepflegte einfache Etagenduschen und Toiletten. Sehr nette Cheffin, die auch wunderbar unprätentiöse Abendmenus nach Anmeldung zubereitet. Frühstück mit wunderbarem Kaffee aus der Espresso Maschine und persönlicher Zusammenstellung der Zutaten. Unglaubliches Bergpanorama, im Sommer herrliche Wandermöglichkeiten unterhalb und oberhalb der Baumgrenze und im Winter kleines aber herausforderndes Skigebiet mit netten Hüttenwirtschaften bis hin zum James Bond Drehrestaurant auf dem Schilthorn. Mehr Erholung ist für mich nicht vorstellbar!
