Located in Lenk and with Car Transport Lötschberg reachable within 28 miles, Mountain Lodge Backpackercamp provides a garden, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi and a shared lounge.

Very friendly welcome by the staff. We were received by Markus who kindly waited for us despite our late arrival and shown us around. Note that late check-ins can be arranged by notifying the staff beforehand. The room was fit for purpose and as advertised on the website. As backpackers, what we also appreciated is the shared kitchen, the shared dining room and the washing/drying machines. Not being from Switzerland and travelling on a budget (wink wink, the too are related), it was great to be able to prepare our own dinner and breakfast (and not spend a month of salary on restaurants --> although rest assured, there are good options). Note as well that the hostel is conveniently placed very near to the town center and the train station (a 5 min walk away at most). There you go. Happy with our stay and we actually went back for a second night there. Hope this helps.

Breakfast was great in a lovely dining room. Bar was pleasant and allowed us to bring a drink up to our room. Beds were comfortable. Loved having a deck!

Opened on 16 June 2017, Crans-Montana Youth Hostel is located in a historic hotel building with 3 terrasses with mountain and lake views, a restaurant and a bar.

Beds were very comfortable despite being simple foam mattresses. Spectacular view from generous balcony.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location, situated right at the promenade. Most comfortable beds ever, cozy rooms in a lovely traditional and legendary hotel with a popular restaurant serving traditional Swiss dishes. Takes you back to the times when hospitality services were delightful.
