Overview
The Hotel Bären, nestled in the village of Wilderswil near Interlaken, is a charming slice of Swiss history, dating back nearly 300 years. Originally a tavern for travellers, it now welcomes guests with its cream walls, green shutters and a bear statue that’s a nod to its name.
Step inside and you'll be wrapped in traditional Swiss hospitality. Wood-panelled walls and ceilings create a homely atmosphere, complemented by traditional wooden furniture and soft beiges, creams, and check fabrics. The Bärenstübli restaurant serves up regional dishes made with fresh, local products – including their very own cheese, made with milk from their cows.
When it’s ski time, the ski bus leaves from right outside the hotel each morning and drops you at the Eiger Express lift in Grindelwald for days swooshing the Jungfrau ski area. Or, you can hop on the train for a 25-minute scenic ride to the slopes.

About Interlaken
Mix town browsing in must-see Interlaken, slope swooshing in the Jungfrau Ski Region and kicking back in the peace and quiet of a picture-perfect Swiss village – that’s stays in Wilderswil for you. Base yourself here and you’re a train hop to Interlaken in one direction and a scenic ride to the ski lifts in Grindelwald in the other.
Interlaken itself serves up something different to the classic alpine village. Picture a Medieval town tucked between two lakes, where ski time meets urban chic. Shops, bars, restaurants, galleries and museums – they’re all on the cards here. Plus, you’ll get to explore everything without the hustle and bustle of the summer season. Staying here during the winter also has other perks. The cost of everything from accommodation to eating out tends to be lower than in Switzerland’s main ski resorts.
This spot is also a top pick for savvy skiers looking to save on Swiss slope time. A 25-minute train ride from Wilderswil gets you to the Eiger Express gondola, where there’s ski storage to keep the trip to the slopes hassle free. Then once you’re kitted up, hop aboard the lift to explore the 211km Jungfrau Ski Region.
Grindelwald is your go-to for traditional après-ski. But if you fancy a different take on a classic after-ski activity, you can’t miss the Floating Fondue or Raclette Raft. Tucking into tasty Swiss choc and cheese while taking in mountain views from the middle of Lake Brienz – it doesn’t get much more unique than that.
