    A nice lounge area for after dinner drinks.

    What is not to like. Staff was incredible friendly. We had our big Bernese mountain dog with us and it was very dog friendly. Food and location is 10/10!

    nothing- is a great place

    Fantastic outdoor wood fired hot tub- perfect for a soak after a day hiking or skiing. the breakfast is very nice and lots of fresh local produce. Very friendly hosts- our room was splendid and it felt in the middle of the meadows and lulled to ship by the gentle cling cling of cow bells. Easy reachable by cablecar or car (summer only)

    Absolutely nothing.

    EVERYTHING IS JUST AMAZING. The photos you see here can’t explain to you how beautiful this place is. Just book it you will not regret it. It’s mentioned that the check in time is super early but the lady left the keys hidden so we could check in at any time (we arrived at 1 am). There’s only one thing: at night, you have the road blocked by an electric fence, we stopped there in the middle of the night, no light at all, trying to figure how to pass this electric fence. It’s easier than it seems, you just run your car through it and it’s ok! Such an Amazing place with AMAZING STAFF!!!

    The hotel is located in a charming place, between the beautiful Bernese Alps. From the hotel, there is a cable car to the top of the Rindenberg mountain and down to the town of Zweisimmen. The hotel staff was very nice and helpful. Very good food served in the hotel restaurant. And after a walk in the mountains, you can relax in the spa area, overlooking the mountains.

    That I did not have the chance to visit the spa area, or sample some of the wines. What a pity.

    The rooms (2) were quiet, very clean and well-equipped. Breakfast was great. The restaurant provided extremely tasty food from the local suppliers. The range of wines was impressive. The garden area with the beautiful range of flowers and the relaxing sun area was quite unique. The spa area was a great addition and the proximity of the gondola (cable car) to the hotel connected the town of Zweisimmen, the hotel Rinderberg and the mountain top. The view from the balcony was breathtaking.

    Reviews didn’t mention that the drive up at night is a long drive on a narrow alpine road . We arrived approximately at 9 pm and the front door to the reception was locked and not lit up . There should be an intercom and lighting at the front entrance for guests arriving late.

    Breakfast was very good . Accommodation were clean and beautifully designed. Staff were very helpful.

    Need to plan for location issues. Location is somewhat chairlift dependent. Carpet was beat. Rooms should have frig. Too many flies.

    Sauna was fantastic. Staff were excellent (helpful and friendly). Location on hill was gorgeous.

    Nothing...important but as always in Switzerland prices, I understand higher prices but still...everything is pretty expensive compared to other countries. If it goes into the pockets of the the staff (supervisors included) not a problem...at all levels were well treated.

    Great location, we were right in the middle of the pastures. Having a dog was a little bit complicated but we were able to do all the trails we wanted to do.....an we got back the hot tubes and sauna!!!!!!! Sooo great... Everybody on the staff! They come from all horizons and they do there best. Je suis vaudois/bernois, and did there best and it was great! Outdoor spa great, incredible sights and sounds at the end of the day!

    eughhhh....🤔 Nope!😜

    The Alpine Lodge is an amazing place on the slopes of the Rinderberg. We went in summer and we were directed towards some incredible walks bringing us to idyllic places such as the top of the Rinderberg at 2078m. Upon return of these walks a Wonderfull wellness was waiting for us. Hassan was very helpful and you could ask him anything without hesitation. Breakfast and dinner were very good, even if you are a vegan. The chef prepares very nice vegan and regular salat plates with fresh herbs from there garden!! The ladies at the front desk made us feel comfortable and at home from the moment we walked in the door. All the superior rooms have a balcony overlooking the Gstaad valley and mountains. We definitely will come back and we recommend this place to everyone...Love Ine en Ellen❤️

    The hotel WiFi didn't cover our room on the top floor very well. Also, the sauna is only open from 3pm in the afternoon, and is set to a very low temperature (60 degrees) but obviously these are only very minor issues!

    This hotel is located right next to the mid-way cable car station up to Rinderberg, above the town of Zweisimmen. As such you have amazing views of the surrounding peaks, and only the noise of the birds, crickets and cowbells. The hotel itself has a pleasing wooden chalet-style exterior, and a very minimalist interior that was still very pleasing. The restaurant is a highlight, with all of the food we ordered very well cooked and presented, and very tasty. The breakfast selection was relatively simple, but with plenty of everything. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The hotel also has a small outdoor sauna and a wood fire-heated hot tub.
