Hotel Kreuz & Post, Grindelwald

Hotel Kreuz & Post is offered on a half board basis with breakfast and dinner served in the Panorama Dining Room.

Dining at Hotel Kreuz & Post is a celebration of Alpine flavour, showcasing the finest locally sourced ingredients from the surrounding Bernese Oberland. The hotel’s culinary philosophy, "from nature to your plate", places local Swiss produce at the heart of every dish – whether it’s mountain cheese, locally sourced meats or seasonal vegetables from nearby farms. 

Start the day with a delicious breakfast buffet often featuring regional cheeses, freshly baked breads, local meats, and Swiss dairy products.

When it comes to dinner you can enjoy a four course evening meal with incredible mountain views, seasonal produce and local recipes take centre stage.

If you want to try some traditional Swiss cuisine, the Challi-Stübli is the place to be. The cosy alpine restaurant offers local favourites such as fondue, rösti, and venison stew, and always with ingredients sourced from local producers in the region. This is not part of the half board offering, so you will need to pay locally to dine here. 

Accessible from Berne (75km) and Zurich (2/3 hours), Grindelwald is the oldest yet least- known of the 3 Jungfrau resorts (which combine to offer 188km of piste). Most will have heard of Wengen and Murren. All 3 sit around the magnificent Eiger, with Grindelwald at the base. A mountaineering Mecca, the setting and scenery are fantastic and the resort is picturesque in the extreme. Grindelwald has its own domain, linked with Wengen, while a slight trek can get you to Murren. 

Grindelwald has Europe's longest sledge run - it is 15 km long!

The skiing favours intermediates and the resort is hugely popular with families. The ski school also has a reasonable reputation, with many English-speaking instructors. 

There is plenty to do off the snow, with the train helping you to get around. Après-ski is pretty laid-back, while hotel restaurants are the focus for good grub. There are a few reasonable bars and 2 clubs, so it's slightly livelier than the other Jungfrau resorts. Access is provided by train from Interlaken.

Overall, a beautiful family ski resort, with a great selection of skiing and non-skiing options available. 

The World Snow Festival takes place in Grindelwald each year. Thousands of sculpturers present their creations on this event. It is worth watching them how they make their creations.
