Hotels Own Introduction

A journey that sets the tone
The adventure begins long before arrival. Travelling to Grand Hotel Belvedere aboard the legendary Wengernalp cogwheel train feels like stepping into another era, where time slows and nature takes centre stage. As the landscapes unfold, a sense of wonder signals the start of an alpine escape unlike any other.

Endless alpine experiences
From summer to winter, snow-dusted peaks and emerald valleys frame a world of discovery. Ski the legendary slopes of Grindelwald, including the iconic Lauberhorn descent, glide above the Alps on a paragliding adventure, or explore miles of hiking and horseback riding trails. Ascend to the Jungfraujoch—Europe’s highest railway station at 3,454 metres—or follow the Royal Walk to the summit of Männlichen for panoramic views that linger long after.

Rooms shaped by the mountains
From expansive windows and generous balconies, alpine vistas captivate the senses. Inside, interiors echo the surrounding peaks through refined simplicity and local craftsmanship. Spruce parquet floors, natural lime walls, green granite bathrooms, and thick woollen textiles create spaces that feel both warm and contemporary—an atmosphere of calm, grounded luxury inspired by the raw beauty of the Alps.

A culinary expression of place
At Grand Hotel Belvedere, dining is guided by authenticity and restraint. Restaurants, terrace, and bars celebrate the region through wild harvests, local produce, seasonal rhythms, and modern technique. The result is a universal dining experience at Brasserie Belvedere, a lively ambience at Sonnenbad, and inviting, intimate moments in the hotel’s bars—each defined by thoughtful detail and alpine character.

A spa rooted in stillness
Inspired by Japanese hot springs, the Belvedere Spa is a minimalist sanctuary devoted to deep relaxation. Mineral-rich waters and personalised Susanne Kaufmann treatments invite restoration, while the relaxation room offers herbal tea and uninterrupted views of the Jungfrau—an experience as soothing as the mountains themselves.

Winter thrills, alpine legends
With nearly 215 kilometres of slopes framed by the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau, Wengen is a playground for winter enthusiasts. Take on the Lauberhorn, the longest downhill run in World Cup history, or explore the Grindelwald-First snowpark, a haven for snowboarding and freestyle skiing. For those who seek exhilaration, few places compare.
