In a remote location at 1,400 metres above sea level, Bärghuus Axalp offers direct access to the ski slopes. Rooms come with free WiFi and wooden furniture. The guest house features a shared-use kitchen and a common living room which features a TV.

Peter is an amazing host that welcomed us with open arms as soon as we arrived. The location is incredibly stunning!! The room is large with a private bathroom and each room has their own specific kitchen supplies. Everything is well labeled and organized. It was so much more than we could’ve imagined and at the price in that area, it’s a steal! Thank you Peter for your kindness!

Youth Hostel Brienz is located on the banks of Lake Brienz, a scenic 15-minute walk from the Brienz Train Station. The hostel serves a buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner, available on the terrace overlooking the lake. Free Wi-Fi is provided.

I liked the location first, and I liked that I was given a room with a balcony so I could sit looking over the lake. Close to town and train station too. The owners were really lovely and were more than nice to me and made me feel very welcome.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location. Absolutely great host. Gave us direction on how to get there out of hours. Even offered us a lift that we did not need in the end. But due to road closures.

    Great location with a view of the mountains. Even more beautiful than on the photos. Comfortable beds, extensive kitchen and every room has its own bathroom. The route uphill to the apartment takes about 15 minutes and from here you have great views of Lake Brienz. Next to the apartment is a small grocery store and halfway up the mountain is a traditional Swiss restaurant. The host was very nice and helpful and made a reservation for us at the restaurant. We can't wait to come back here!
