Pension Gimmelwald is a cozy Swiss mountain cottage in the car-free mountain village Gimmelwald. With simple but charming rooms, this historic guesthouse provides a classic alpine experience.

One of my friends spends a week with her family here almost every summer and adores everything about it.

We like to stop at their restaurant for a late lunch after a hike. We usually get their toasties and soup of the day, an affordable and tasty meal. Plus the views from their terrace are unbeatable.

They have a nice selection of beer, including their award-winning Schwarz Mönch black lager, a must drink for any visit.

Location: Kirchstatt 746a, 3826 Gimmelwald (5 min walk from Gimmelwald cable car)
