Alpenruhe Kulm

Super friendly and helpful staff! They were very welcoming and have all the tips and tricks on how to make our stay the most memorable. Alpenruhe is a short 10-15 minute walk to the train station. Don’t forget to arrange pickup from the train station before you arrive! Our room was very clean and modern with very comfortable beds. There is a surprisingly large area for the desk to do some work also. Our private balcony was roomy with views of the valley below. It was a great place to relax at the end of the day. The complimentary breakfast was deeeeeee-licious! Upon entering the very clean and spacious dining area, the staff welcome you and ask how you would like your eggs. They go straight into the back and made it for us! The croissants were crisp and fresh and the entire breakfast selection was tasty (including the savory cheese selection). When requesting coffee, the staff will bring out freshly brewed individual pot of coffee. Every morning we would have a healthy and hearty meal before heading into the mountains. We originally did not book a room here since we didn’t know it was accessible so easily by train. We had a hotel in Lauterbrunnen but left there after one night to stay at the Alpenruhe Kulm in Wengen. The whole town of Wengen is quieter and has way more charm then busier Lauterbrunnen and Interlaken. We were surprised at how central Wengen was in the Jungfrau mountain region. The train to Jungfraujoch, the Top of Europe, is the next train stop up the mountain. Also at the next stop, it’s the starting point for the most scenic trails. There are so many little touches that makes Alpenruhe feel so welcoming: Chilly day? Borrow a blanket to relax on the patio. Rainy day? Borrow an umbrella to keep dry! Want a closer look of the Jungfrau mountain? Borrow the complimentary binoculars! Chocolates on the pillows and welcome beverage upon arrival? Yes please! We will definitely come back and stay at the Alpenruhe again!

Remember that Wengen is mostly a car free town so prepare to walk. But that is what makes Wengen so great...car free and pedestrian friendly. Really keeps the charm! Upon arrival, do not forget to setup the complimentary pickup from the train station. Even though it’s only a 10-15 minute walk, there is a slight grade uphill and will make life easier especially if you have several bags.
