Hotel Alpina

We had two nights in Kandersteg and used the Alpina Hotel as our base. We had the family room, which gave us a large double bed with a further three single beds up in a loft space. My 11 and 12 year old loved the loft, as it gave them a bit of space to themselves and felt fun, however it may not be suitable for young children as it was accessed by open wooden stairs. The breakfast was continental, and included some lovely homemade Bircher muesli along with the expected breads, pastries, meats, cheeses and jams. Plenty to keep us going for a day of walking and swimming in the Oeschinensee. Whilst the hotel was furnished simply, and wasn’t modern, it was spotlessly clean, the beds were comfortable and we felt it was good value for money and had a great time here. Kandersteg itself is small, but there were several different options for eating out. The main attraction was the stunning mountain scenery, and the Gondala lift up to the Oeschinsee and toboggan run was about 15 minutes walk from the hotel.
