Situated above the skiing town of Grindelwald, Hotel Sonnenberg is a beautiful Swiss chalet offering comfortable accommodation with free Wi-Fi and stunning view of the Eiger mountain. The cosy guest rooms all have a private bathroom and a telephone. In addition some rooms have balconies giving panoramic mountain views. Breakfast is served in the Sonneberg’s restaurant. Guests can also benefit from the many restaurants in Grindelwald which is 5-minute’s walk away. Please note that from the hotel restaurant and its terrace the Eiger can be seen but not from every room. In the winter the local skiing is excellent, and in summer Hotel Sonnenberg is the perfect base from which to explore the surrounding area on foot or by bike. A ski deposit room in the centre of Grindelwald is available for a surcharge. Hotel Sonnenberg is a 5-minute walk from the train station.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 8.3 for a two-person trip.
