We had a wonderful stay at Pension Gimmelwald. Sabine, David and their staff were super attentive and friendly. After arriving a bit late on our first evening (taking one of the last cable cars up to Gimmelwald) we found Sabine waiting patiently, greeting us with a smile and a drink. Pension Gimmelwald is truly charming and pleasantly rustic. A real down-to-earth, family a**osphere pervades, with cozy furnishings, board games and travel books in the den and restaurant area, and a warm glow all around. Opening our window on the first morning to the sights and sounds of this beautiful mountain village was a magical experience. Our room was comfortable and clean, as were the shared bathroom facilities. Despite the poor weather, we could not have asked for a nicer stay, and the cost was very reasonable. While poor weather prevented the hoped-for hiking further up the mountain, the trek up to the waterfalls of Chilchbalm was really cool. Our only regret is that we wish we had more time to enjoy this amazing place.
