Hotel Edelweiss

We were here for Christmas last year and I loved every second of it. Daniel was a great host who always made sure we were comfortable. He helped us with finding things around town and what we can do to ski the alps. He also held little Christmas events that made my Christmas, like mulled wine by the fire.
The rooms were very nice and cozy and were the perfect sizes for my sisters and I. We also used the sauna multiple times and it was a great way to relax.
Christmas Eve dinner here was amazing and they truly did everything to make us have a great Christmas. I miss not going back this year but I definitely recommend this place if you stay at Wengen.

We had a family group of nine people who stayed here, and we loved the Hotel Edelweiss. Our hosts, Daniel and Susanne, and former owner Martin, made us feel very welcome. They gave us great suggestions for hikes and activities. Our kids had fun at the playground right outside the hotel, and they liked the bunk beds in their room, which adjoined ours. We all had spectacular mountain views from our balconies.
The hotel was immaculate and very comfortable, with fantastic views from all our rooms and nice public spaces for gathering both inside and out. The breakfasts and fixed-​menu dinners were excellent. For the dinners, the chef was very accommodating in adjusting the menu for a vegetarian and for others in our group with various food requests. They offered prompt laundry service — we gave them clothing to be washed in the morning and it was returned to us by early evening.
We found a very comfortable, relaxing, and friendly atmosphere at the Hotel Edelweiss and we would definitely come again.

best place to stay for swiss hiking!
My mom and I stayed at the Hotel Edelweiss for a 3-​day hiking trip in the area. Wengen is the perfect place to stay to hike in the area. The town doesn’t have cars, which makes it much more quaint and quiet than Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald. It’s also very central for hiking both up towards Kleine Scheidegg, and over towards Mürren (take the train down to Lauterbrunnen first). We got into the hotel at midnight, in the pitch dark, and could easily find our way down to the (steep) road to the hotel, about a 5 minute walk. Wengen also has an outdoor public swimming pool, about 10 min walk from hotel, with views of the mountains!
The hotel itself is can’t be better – especially because of the friendliness and expertise of Daniel and Susanne. They recommended hikes to us that made the visit absolutely spectacular. Our first day we said we wanted to do a longer hike, and they suggested something a little bit off the «beaten path,» in the sense that we only saw maybe 10 – 15 other hikers, rather than one of the more popular, easier paths. we had amazing mountain views, were alone most of the time, and it was exactly the difficulty/​length we wanted. They had great tips for people, according to their various needs and abilities.
The hotel breakfast is super super good, with traditional Swiss breakfast foods (Bircher müesli, wonderful, fresh bread with jams, meats and cheeses…). The room was comfortable and had a SPECTACULAR view. We had dinner there one night, for fondue night, and it was really great. Again, Susanne and Daniel are SUPER friendly and will help make your stay really nice.
I originally found the place because a friend recommended it, and the price seemed to be on the lower end for Wengen (although Switzerland is unavoidably expensive). I would HIGHLY recommend it.

Einfach und gemütlich, freundlicher Service mit Familienanschluss, feinem Zmorgen und nahe beim Bahnhof. Alles was man braucht, wenn es nicht luxuriös sein muss.
