Chalet-Gafri - Bnb - Frühstückspension Und Gastfreundschaft

The accommodation in Wilderswil offers spacious, well-equipped rooms with balconies and lovely views. Guests praise the delicious breakfast and excellent service. It's a peaceful, central location for families and skiers.

Chalet Gafri BnB location is 15mins walk from train station or 5 mins walk from Bus stop (30mins interval). View from superior room with balcony is very beautiful can see the mountains, very quiet and nice to chill. Breakfast is nice but repetitive for our 9days stay. Kudos to Monica for making us feel special every breakfast. Rooms are tidy and clean. Would recommend booking the superior room with balcony.

This was my eleventh winter visit to Chalet Gafri. I stayed in one of the four rooms in the main Chalet, which was every bit as clean, warm and comfortable as my previous visits. My room was on the upper floor with a balcony and a lovely view across the village to Lake Brienz in the distance – as well as to the large mountains of the Jungfrau area. The location in this part of the village is remarkably peaceful. Breakfast each day is always a treat; I’d highly recommend Gabi’s Bircher muesli but there is plenty of choice of other local products. Hosts Gabi and Fritz really do make this an exceptional place to stay. If you are travelling without a car, Chalet Gafri is very near to local transport, with a bus to Interlaken West every half an hour. That bus route is free with the Interlaken guest card, supplied when you arrive at the Chalet (make sure you take it with you!). As with all Swiss transport, the bus service is clean and reliable. If you are intending to travel on other public transport, I strongly recommend downloading the SBB Mobile app, which is brilliant for planning journeys and you can also buy on-line tickets. A quick outline of my activities during this unusually mild winter visit: Day 1 (arrival): Fritz kindly collected me from Interlaken West station, which was sincerely appreciated. I had time to unpack and then walk to Bönigen on Lake Brienz. There were some beautiful evening cloud reflections on Lake Brienz. I continued round to Interlaken Ost, where I bought some snacks etc. for taking out on walks over the next few days. Day 2: Rain overnight in the village had fallen as snow above 1500 metres, so there was a fresh covering on the wonderful winter hiking path from Niederhorn to Waldegg. I’ve written about this many times before but it is such a classic, and easy to get to from the Chalet. Take the 105 bus (or walk) to Interlaken West and change to the 101 bus to Beatenberg (you will need to pay on this bus as the guest card does not cover the whole route). Stay on until the last stop, the cable car station for the Niederhorn. Make sure the walk is open (ask at the cable car station) and buy a ticket to the top. The walk from Niederhorn to Waldegg takes about 3.5 to 4 hours, and has spectacular views of the mountains, Lake Thun and the U-shaped Justistal valley. There are a few steep downhill sections where sticks are useful, especially if the snow is a bit hard. Normally there is snow all the way down to Waldegg but due to the unusually mild conditions, the last half hour of the walk this time was on summer paths. Day 3: My plan was to walk from First (gondola ride from Grindelwald) to the (frozen) mountain lake, Bachalpsee. However on arrival at First I found that the snow was very compacted and icy, so difficult to get any traction on the steep sections at the start. I decided not to take the risk of a fall and came back down, and instead took the train to Lauterbrunnen, bus to Stechelberg and ca
