The pension is part of “old Gimmelwald” so is a bit creaky with community bathrooms, but it is charming because of that. The staff were amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

It was a lovely experience. When staff realized that we were booked into a double room at the end of a steep staircase, they offered us a triple room on the second floor. For our hikes, we could use hiking sticks that were there for the guests to use. My wife could even use a pair of spikes. The food was wonderful prepared with love, and we had nice conversations.
