Kandersteg, Switzerland Has Accommodation For All Budgets
Kandersteg has hotels, Mountain Huts, B&B's, Camping in the Summer, SAC huts, etc. If you are not familiar with exactly what a SAC Hut/cabin is:
- A SAC (Swiss Alpine Club) Hut is located high in the remote mountains. The SAC operated 153 huts throughout Switzerland are used primarily by Alpinists, climbers, hikers, families and nature lovers. You do not have to climb the Matterhorn to rest during the day or stay overnight (usually in dorms) with a hot breakfast and dinner available. Hike up, overnight and walk down the next day and even ask the hut keeper for advice. Don't expect bedrooms, showers, or privacy. To make sure everything runs smoothly in limited space, The Swiss Alpine Club posts a few rules of conduct or Hut Rules. For example, lights out at 10:00 p.m.
- Hotels. We've stayed at three different hotels in Kandersteg that were all wonderful experiences. Two three-stars and one four-star at a time when the dollar was stronger against the Swiss Franc. The Chalet-Hotel Adler...View image, Hotel Bernerhof, and Hotel Schweizerhof.
Whatever style of accommodation you choose in Kandersteg, ask for a room with a direct view of the Blumlisalp and you won't believe the magnificence before you. Again, visit the Kandersteg Tourism website and download the full list of all accommodations.
You can be settled in a room, eating great food and enjoying the scenery in Kandersteg, one of my favorite Switzerland locales, in less than 2-1/2 hours by train from Zurich.
