First-class Holidays at the foot of the North face of the Eiger: The Chalet-style Hotel Kirchbühl, which includes some holiday apartments, has been run by the Brawand family for four generations.

Meeting Point for active nature-Lovers: its idyllic, peaceful location above the village church, with wonderful views of the surrounding mountains and glaciers of the Bernese Alps, make the Hotel Kirchbühl the ideal starting point for visitors who want to actively enjoy nature in the UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site. Hotel Shuttlebus or (ski)Bus from train station. Ski-In & Ski-Out, Skiischool, Firstbahn and Pfingsteggbahn are nearby.
