Berggasthaus First

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Berggasthaus First, and it was an unforgettable experience! Nestled in the breathtaking Swiss Alps, this charming mountain lodge offers stunning views and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. The rooms were cozy, clean, and beautifully decorated, providing the perfect retreat after a day of hiking. The highlight of our stay was the delicious food! Each meal was a delightful experience, featuring local ingredients and traditional Swiss dishes. Don’t miss the homemade strudel for dessert—it’s a must-try! The location is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, with plenty of hiking trails and stunning vistas right at your doorstep. Watching the sunrise over the mountains from the terrace was a magical moment I’ll cherish forever. Overall, Berggasthaus First exceeded all my expectations. I can't recommend it highly enough for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in nature. I can’t wait to return!

We took the cable car up to Berggasthaus First and had such a memorable experience! The food was delicious, the fries were a bit salty, but everything else was great. The view is absolutely stunning, surrounded by majestic mountains. The waiter was incredibly friendly and full of energy, he kept complimenting us on how beautiful we were and even helped take some lovely photos for us. A warm, fun, and scenic stop high up in the Swiss Alps!

I spent my birthday at this place, and everything was absolutely perfect! I loved the stunning view from the mountain hostel and the restaurant. The highlight for me was definitely the dinner — it was very, very, very good! I truly enjoyed every bite. A wonderful experience overall!

I stayed at Grindelwald First Hotel in June and it was a terrible experience - I had hiked from Schynige Platte to First and wanted to overnight in a peaceful environment where I can have a mountain experience. ||The inclusive dinner was so salty you could not eat it. Even the waitress said it was too salty. ||They played the most awful rock music loudly in the restaurant and outside (non stop). No chance to relax, breathe in the fresh mountain air and hear the cowbells or hear the waterfalls. All you could hear was the awful music being pumped out in the mountain environment. My room window overlooked the outside patio area of the restaurant and I had to ask the staff to turn it down because the music was disturbing even in my room. The restaurant music noise continued until midnight when I was finally able to fall asleep. Very inconsiderate. When I asked the restaurant about it the next morning they denied that any music was playing that late, even though it was. ||If you prefer a loud experience, similar to staying above a disco bar in Zurich, this is the place for you. If you’d like a quiet mountain experience, stay far away, you will be very dissatisfied.

Stayed there for 2 nights, weather wasn’t that great however the people made our stay warm and comfortable. Had heard about swiss hospitality but experienced it and it was top notch. The staffs were really kind, location wise it was amazing. Shout out to Dominion and Yanis for their great hospitality and the sweet girl at the bar who was fun and chatty. Would definitely love to come back in the future. Plus the dinner was great, especially the apple strudel and breakfast included😉

We came here for a holiday and stopped over at Grindelwald for a day and did the First activities. The food here was exceptional and delicious. The Firstrosti was very cheesy with a nice balance of potatoes to eggs to meat. The burgers were pretty good but didn’t catch the attention whereas the fries were crispy to the point and seasoned generously. Overall I would definitely recommend the food here.

Dining at the top of a mountain, the views were incredible. Staff was friendly and the schnitzel was rather delicious but bland without any sauces. It could easily be improved if they added cranberry jam or the currywrust sauce to it. The prices were slightly overpriced at 23.5 CHF; however, hard to complain give them touristy location. Sat outside, but seats were wet, but someone came to clean them.

An unforgettable experience staying at the guesthouse with the most friendly staff! After the cable car closes, you have the mountain to yourself with the most amazing view. The 3-course dinner you can order was great value. But what made the stay most memorable was the staff that always met us with the most friendly smile and went out of their way to make our stay great!
