Summary of reviews related to the 'Accessible' categoryBerggasthaus First offers a serene mountaintop experience that is only accessible by cable car, providing guests with breathtaking views and a peaceful respite after the last cable car departs for the day. The hotel’s proximity to the cable car station makes it highly convenient for those arriving and departing and during the evenings, the mountain is virtually empty, offering an unparalleled sense of tranquility.
The gondola service begins at 8 am, ensuring early access without the crowds, but the limited schedule can pose some challenges. Guests must return by 5:30 PM to catch the last cable car and there are no options to come down after 6 PM, which can be restrictive for those wanting to explore Grindelwald in the evenings. Despite this, the quiet and solitude after hours could be seen as a unique advantage for those looking to disconnect and relax.
Access to basic amenities like supermarkets requires a trip down the mountain, adding a layer of planning to the stay. The experience of being atop the mountain also implies dealing with altitude changes, though this aspect is external to the hotel’s control.
Overall, while the necessity of using the gondola and its associated costs might be a consideration, the striking silence and stunning high-altitude views make Berggasthaus First a distinctive retreat for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
