Location – A Gateway to Alpine Adventures
Hotel Glacier is ideally situated to provide guests with spectacular views and easy access to Grindelwald’s top attractions. Located just a short 20-minute walk from the town center, the hotel strikes the perfect balance between serenity and convenience. While the walk is slightly uphill and may take a little longer with kids, the stunning scenery of rolling meadows and towering peaks makes it a journey to savor.
One of the standout moments of our stay was the exceptional service we received upon arrival. After disembarking at Grindelwald station, the hotel sent a staff member to pick us up, making our transition seamless. This thoughtful gesture was much appreciated, especially since we were traveling with young children.
The hotel’s location is also a great starting point for adventures to iconic attractions like the Jungfraujoch – known as the “Top of Europe,” the First Cliff Walk, and numerous hiking trails. Skiers and snowboarders will appreciate the proximity to the slopes in the winter months, while summer visitors can enjoy lush trails and thrilling outdoor activities like zip-lining and mountain carting.
