Visiting Tips, Getting There & Nearby Pairings
Book directly on the official site to get the discount, minibar and afternoon cake. Reserve early for the ski season, Christmas and July to August, when Grindelwald fills quickly. Barrys gets busy at dinner, so reserve a table even if you are staying in the hotel. Trains run hourly or better from Interlaken Ost to Grindelwald station. From there, the walk along Dorfstrasse to the hotel is flat and short, easy with rolling luggage. Drivers follow the valley road from Interlaken; ask the hotel to confirm parking when booking.
Elevators serve the guest floors. The approach from Dorfstrasse is level, but contact the hotel about step-free room options and spa access. The Firstbahn gondola, gateway to the First Cliff Walk and Bachalpsee, is roughly a 5-minute walk east. The Grindelwald Terminal for the Eiger Express and Männlichen is about 15 minutes downhill or one stop by train. Dorfstrasse itself is lined with outdoor shops, bakeries and cafés.
