Mönthal 2024 Holidays

This is not in Interlaken. This is about 4 miles outside of Interlaken. To get there you get off the train at Interlaken West and then catch bus 106 to Habkern Post. The bus times can be found on the SBB app. Last bus runs about 7pm, don’t miss it or the taxi will run you about $47 Swiss Francs. This is an old Chalet being run by a sweet young couple. It needs renovation but they are wonderful and it is very clean. I did not enjoy the shared bath but shame on me for not paying attention to what I was booking. But even being a shared bath, it was very clean. They have a restaurant on the lower level and the food was great! We arrived late and they still offered to feed us. Breakfast in the morning was very adequate and they make the coffee for you which was a nice treat. The location is quaint!! There is a bakery across the street and the pastries are delicious! Such a beautiful little town. Highly recommend the view. And if you are lucky, at 8pm the church bells ring across the hill. So beautiful!

The room is spacious and the balcony has a wonderful view, but the best thing we enjoyed about the property was the wellness spa with saunas, hot tubs and resting areas. It was so quiet and peaceful especially on a rainy day - the highlight of our trip!

The views are incredible. I would come again & highly recommend it, however I was unaware that the hotel & entire town are not accessible by car. One must park in the valley below ( Lauterbrunnen) and take a train up to the town. Parking is about 9 Euros a calendar day (so an overnight stay costs 18 Euros) and the train which leaves every 30 min costs 7.50 Euros p/p one way. The hotel is a walk uphill from the train station, but there is a hotel shuttle (another fact we were unaware of ) that is very welcome if you have a lot of luggage.

This hotel is a magical dream. The staff is incredibly kind and very professional. The decor is so special and the views in all directions are wonderful. The cows with bells in the pasture next to us was a beautiful sound.This is one of the most memorable hotel stays I’ve ever had. Now I am dying to stay again in the winter and go cross country skiing.
