Alpinhotel Bort

Amazing views right outside your door with all the privacy you could want before 10am and after 5pm when the gondola shuts down for the day. Best if you have a car as the restaurant's menu is fairly small and that is the only option.

Expensive to stay but great views. Playground available on site for young children. Restaurant had a decent menu. Fun bunk beds for kids in family room we had. Close to First for activities. Friendly helpful staff.

Beautiful location and spectacular views. Nice and clean facilities with a modern twist on a traditional aesthetic. Great breakfast. The only dinner option is the hotel but it is good and has a kids menu. We had our own clean, modern bathroom, but it was down the hall from our room (not an issue just wanting others to be aware). Note if you don’t drive to the hotel, you have to pay for the gondola.

Beautiful stay halfway up the mountain. You can drive up to it, which we did. Road is paved but very narrow and you have a lot of bikes coming down during the day. You can also take the gondola, First. Hiking is fantastic. Peaceful and solitary at night. Restaurant is great.

Amazing property. The driving up was a bit disconcerting with the single lane road shared with the trot bikes coming down but it was worth it. The views are amazing and the rooms were great. The dinner in the restaurant was worthy of fine dining. 100% would recommend.

O Hotel fica situado no alto da montanha com a melhor vista de Grindelwald. A atração First fica a poucos minutos saindo do hotel por um teleférico que fica ao lado. Amei ter me hospedado aqui. O serviço e atendimento de todos os funcionários foram muito bons.

The most beautiful location I could have asked for. Very good breakfast options, nice beds and shower. The only minus is the flies but would love to stay here again.

There is nothing there to eat but the hotel restaurant.

It was amazing. Beautiful spot with stunning views. Food was good, room clean. Washroom outside of room was unusual but not bad. It was clean and modern. The only thing I didn’t like were the flies in the dining room. But I would still go back.

The surroundings of the property make this a truly unique and memorable experience. The views, cows right on property, large play area for kids and the cable car that takes you up the mountain were a treat! The room was comfortable for a one-night stay only. No slippers, robes and not enough towels for a 4 person room. The breakfast that's included was poor - flies everywhere (likely due to the cows on property) so it's not a good feeling seeing the flies on the meats, cheeses, bread and other food items - lost our appetite quickly. There were flies everywhere so recommend they find some solution for this. For dinner we dined at their on-site restaurant and the food was mediocre for the price paid. Only one staff member who seemed overwhelmed. He had trouble conversing with us (English) and the table behind us (Korean but speaking English). Recommend this property for a unique experience but skip all meals and hopefully they fix the fly problem.

The location is great, quiet, nice views, close to Hiking trails. Had dinner & breakfast there with friends. Food is delicious, service was good &staff are helpful & accomodating

Amamos nossa estadia nesse hotel , quarto impecável , roupa de cama e chuveiro excelente, funcionários do hotel muitos gentis e educados , equipe de cozinha maravilhosa ! Me hospedarei novamente no hotel !

This is a great place to stay ! great views from the room and hotel deck. very clean rooms and up to date bathrooms . Alot of fun taking the FIRST gondola to the hotel. highly recommend this hotel!

Beautiful location and spectacular views. Nice and clean facilities with a modern twist on a traditional aesthetic. Great breakfast. The only dinner option is the hotel but it is good and has a kids menu. We had our own clean, modern bathroom, but it was down the hall from our room (not an issue just wanting others to be aware). Note if you don’t drive to the hotel, you have to pay for the gondola.

Given the location of the property there is only 2 modes of access ( the gondola and hiking). From google earth it looked to be car accessible (private roadway) and we assumed either a taxi or the gondola could take us up. Well the gondola shut down due to some issue and it was poring rain. The hotel said a taxi could take us but after calling multiple taxis they couldn’t, and we just had no way of getting to the property because the hike was out of the picture with our luggage so we missed 1/2 nights at the hotel. We paid for another property and slept off our anger and frustration. In the morning we checked into our room and found that the bathroom was separate from the actual room for us. This was annoying given you would have to walk across a public hallway to get to our room. Whatever we said. Upon entering our room it was fairly clean but there was smashed bugs on the wall and ceiling. The room was clean other than that. We went to eat dinner which tasted okay. We both ordered the European version of a rib eye but what we received seemed like pork. Very chewy and wouldn’t recommend. Carrots overcooked to mush and potatoes bland. Just after dinner as soon as I made it upstairs to my room and sat on the toilet with some sort of food reaction. Was very unpleasant. Overall if you are a tourist DONT stay here given the location and the inconvenience it gives you while exploring Grindelwald. There are way nicer and cheaper hotels on grinldwald that are better.

The most beautiful location I could have asked for. Very good breakfast options, nice beds and shower. The only minus is the flies but would love to stay here again.

Once you arrive at Grindelwald's train station you need to walk up to Grindelwald First gondola station. The sidewalks can get a bit crowded, so that can be a bit annoying especially if you have luggage. PLEASE buy some kind of pass, AND check the time your train arrives in the city, otherwise, if you miss the last gondola up and you are stuck. Hours of operation vary depending on the season. Also, check with the staff your arrival time as their normal checkin time is until 4pm. REMEMBER every time you go down or up in the gondolas you have to pay 10 chf each way per person, so.. do yourself a favor and find out which pass you need that will cover the gondola tickets, otherwise, like me.. you will end up spending 80chf to simply go down and walk around the city. Once you make it to the hotel: WOW.. The view is simply breathtaking. We had dinner at the hotel. It was an experience/view I will NEVER forget. We were literally eating above the clouds. The room was super clean and very spacious, and we had great view. Breakfast was great as well. Simple, but it had exactly what we needed. I really, REALLY liked the hotel, and the fact that we were literally in the alps was something I will NEVER forget. However, the fact that we needed to take the gondola up and down and were restricted by their schedule (I think the last one was at 6pm), makes me think twice about returning, otherwise this hotel is a GEM.

Super clean room, one gondola ride to the hotel do not hike to it. Take the trotti bike down on the way back

It was amazing. Beautiful spot with stunning views. Food was good, room clean. Washroom outside of room was unusual but not bad. It was clean and modern. The only thing I didn’t like were the flies in the dining room. But I would still go back.

facility : It was very clean and the bathroom was completely new. However, you can feel the noise between walls and between floors. You can know the number of people in the room next door, the country where they are from, and the content of the conversation even if you don't want to know it. And there is no refrigerator in the room. accessibility : Highly recommended for those who like to stay in their accommodation. But there are restrictions on travel because you have to move according to the gondola departure/closing time. service : The staff are generally friendly and nice. Even though I almost had an unfortunate incident due to a taxi issue(Gratefully, the manager responded kindly and I checked out safely). However, an staff's comment, “If there is a problem with the taxis, they will take charge of from the hotel, so the customer should get confirmation” made me anxious all night and was very absurb(Fortunately the taxi arrived on time. Frutta Taxi👍). All customers who book this hotel make their reservations with accessibility in mind, but the hotel doesn't have their own pick-up service (even if operated for a fee), and doesn't even contact the taxi company and instead ask for confirmation, which is something I have never experienced in a hotel in any country. I don't know and care what happened between this hotel and the taxi company before, but it's non of custormers' business. I wish you were explanable nicely, if there was a certain reason for some issue.

Great sleep and view, cosy, welcoming staff and atmosphere. One stop with Grindelwald First cable car (Bort). Accessible by car. Had the room with separate private bathroom opposite the bedroom, would book it again.

This stay was a wonderful experience! The room was a little cozy for a family of 4 (two teens), but my teens loved the cubby bunk beds, the staff was super friendly and helpful, and the view was spectacular!

Bra service, Martina tillmötesgående. Härligt läge. Obs välj den östra vägen upp. Den andra som Apple förordnar, gångväg. Lyhört annars bra!

Stunning view and the beds were comfy. Recommend!

Great service, very frindly staff. Note to traveler some of the rooms has a dadecated toilets out side the room access by the room card key.

Great view, great room! Loved our stay!

Room is too small. bathroom not inside the room.

The staff is very arrogant, rude and difficult to work with. Especially Martina she was very rude to us on the phone. They provided us with an incorrect address and we got stuck in the middle of nowhere. We had to call the cops who tracked our coordinates and stated this was an area where cars should not be. We then had to find a different hotel last minute to book. This hotel refused to provide any form of refund even a partial refund since we did not end up staying here. PLEASE AVOID this hotel at all costs! All they care about is money. Expedia at the very least offered us a partial refund.

Quisiera decir tantas cosas de esta propiedad así que empezaré por las que me hubieran gustado saber. 1. Importante llegar antes de las 4. La ciudad no está dentro de la ciudad está en lo alto así que la manera más práctica de llegar es usar la góndola. En caso de que por alguna razón no puedas llegar a esa hora, avisa a recepción a ver si de alguna manera pueden ayudarte. 2. SI ES POSIBLE LLEGAR en taxi (cuando no hay nieve) de cualquier manera mejor ponerse en contacto en recepción para que te ayuden. 2. Estarás en lo alto de Grindelwald, aún en mayo la temperatura es baja procura ir abrigado. Por último, quisiera decir que estoy sumamente agradecida con el personal, por error olvidamos preguntar su nombre, pero la chica que atendió la recepción, no tenemos palabras para agradecer las facilidades para permitir llegar en las góndolas aún un poquito fuera del horario ni tampoco para programar nuestro servicio de taxi a las 5am, este lugar se robó nuestro corazón y sin duda estamos ansiosos de planear nuestro siguiente viaje y de ser posible esta vez en invierno, el paisaje y La Paz que se sienten no tiene comparación!

Freundlicher Service und angenehme Atmosphäre. Wir haben uns sehr willkommen gefühlt und freuen uns schon auf den nächsten Besuch.

Excellent location with great staff

We only stayed one night while exploring all the fun activities of Grindelwald. Perfect location. Beautiful views and a great room for a family of 4. Very comfortable temperature at night. Both dinner and breakfast was excellent. They accommodated my gluten allergy very well.

Quintin checked me in after I arrived late. He was extremely professional, friendly and kind. I will definitely refer all my friends and family to come to this amazing beautiful property.

The place is really nice, its clean and the staffs are really friendly.

Local incrível no topo da montanha! Vista sensacional, campos verdes lindos e visão dos picos com neve e nascer do sol com uma das vistas mais incríveis que tive na vida. Vale muito a pena. Hotel bem estruturado, moderno, limpo e excelente atendimento. Ficamos ali por um acaso passeando por Interlaken, Grindelwald e Lucerna. Voltaria de certeza.

Beautiful stay halfway up the mountain. You can drive up to it, which we did. Road is paved but very narrow and you have a lot of bikes coming down during the day. You can also take the gondola, First. Hiking is fantastic. Peaceful and solitary at night. Restaurant is great.

In staying at 9 different hotels for our 2 week vacation this was our favorite hotel. We took the Gondola up to the hotel and then from there it was very easy to go to Grindelwald 'First' and was very accesible to some great hikes in the area, and then once the Gondola stopped at 6:00 p.m. it became very quiet and peaceful at the hotel. We had the restaurant and the mountain to ourselves for the rest of the night. Although we read many comments discouraging driving up to the hotel, we definitely could have driven up as we had good weather and the paved road is very driveable in the summer.

Ein wunderschönes, kleines Berghotel. Die Anreise mit der Gondel ist bequem, die Zimmer sind super und das Restaurant bietet eine tolle Auswahl lokaler Köstlichkeiten. Die An- und Abreise benötigt etwas Planung - mit dem Auto ist das Hotel bei Schnee oder Sturm nicht erreichbar. Dafür fährt die Gondel zuverlässig zwischen 9h und 16h. Da starten die Ferien schon bei der Anreise :). Das Hotel ist der ideale Startpunkt für atemberaubende Wanderungen und Ausflüge in der Bergwelt von Grindelwald. Der Ausblick auf den Eiger und andere Berge ist traumhaft!

What a wonderful location that can’t be beat! I wish we didn’t have to pay for the gondola every time we went to the property, though.

Super clean room, one gondola ride to the hotel do not hike to it. Take the trotti bike down on the way back

The location is unbeatable. Unbelievable 360 views of first mountain and the Swiss Alps. DO NOT RECOMMEND anyone driving up there, only take a funicular from Grindelwald. This a single lane HAIR RAISING- WHITE knuckle drive straight up a steep mountain while tourists and kids zip past you on trote bikes. You will have gray hair.

It has the best view of the Grindelwald. There are no tourists in the morning and evening, so you can enjoy the view calmly. The stars are clearly visible at night.

Ein toller Ausblick, nettes Personal, super Küche beim Abendessen. Nur das Frühstücksbüffet war lange nicht so hochwertig wie die Küche am Vorabend beim Abendessen erhoffen ließ. Aber wir sind auch satt geworden.

The only dinner option is the hotel but it is good and has a kids menu. We had our own clean, modern bathroom, but it was down the hall from our room (not an issue just wanting others to be aware).

The quietness is what we love, and the good food at dinner and breakfast is what makes our stay more memorable. We would love to stay here again and be happy to recommend this hotel to anyone we know.
