1. Why We Chose This Lodge

​

The Eiger View Alpine Lodge

was a hidden gem I found after hours of deep-dive research.

Because I was booking 3-4 months in advance,

most of the budget-friendly, aesthetic spots were already sold out...

​

​

I was hunting for a room that met these strict criteria:

✅ Budget-friendly pricing

✅ Aesthetically pleasing interior

✅ Direct views of the Eiger mountain

​

​

When I booked, it wasn't even listed on Agoda yet because

it was a brand-new property.

The only reviews I could find were a few scattered posts on travel forums!

Haha!

I literally had to piece together the layout and size in my head

based on a few blurry user photos.

After mentally simulating the space, I decided to take the plunge.

​

​

The verdict?

⭐️ Absolutely, 100% satisfied! ⭐️

2. Location & How to Get There

​

To reach the Eiger View Alpine Lodge:

👉 Take Bus 122 from Grindelwald Station,

get off at the Gaggi Sage stop, and it's just a

1-minute walk from there! *.*

​

​

During check-in, they'll show you the local bus schedule—

make sure to snap a photo of it!

* Pro tip: Before boarding, show the bus driver your stop name

to confirm they're heading there. I did this on my first ride just to be safe!

​

📍 Eiger View Alpine Lodge
Sonnenbergweg 20, 3818 Grindelwald, Switzerland

​

​

The exterior has that quintessential Swiss chalet charm.

Prices might have bumped up slightly for 2026, but

when I booked, it was ~$385 for 2 nights (for 2 people).

Considering Grindelwald's notoriously high accommodation prices, this was a steal!

​

​

And the absolute best part? The view right in front of the lodge...

It's insane.

​

​

We planned to just drop our bags and head straight to Grindelwald First,

but the views from the lodge and the path leading down were so breathtaking

that we spent way too much time taking photos

and totally blew our schedule!

Haha!

​

3. Room & Amenities Review

​

The first thing that thrilled me upon entering:

👉 There is an elevator!

Honestly, dragging heavy luggage up stairs in the Alps is a nightmare, so this was a huge win.

​

The Eiger View Alpine Lodge has three main standout features:

✔️ A stunning central lobby

✔️ Shared bathrooms (shared between just two rooms)

✔️ A fully equipped shared kitchen

​

​

Wondering what makes the central lobby so special?

The Central Lobby

​

Isn't it gorgeous?

I was absolutely in love with this space.

So dreamy!

​

​

As soon as you step out of the elevator,

you're greeted by this incredible window view in the lobby.

The sight of the tiny Swiss chalets against the massive Eiger backdrop is unmatched.

​

​

The atmosphere is incredibly cozy, and the landscape outside

looks literally like a painting!

​

Inside the Room

​

Our room was tucked away down the hallway connected to the lobby.

​

​

I read online that rooms were assigned on a first-come, first-served basis,

so I asked the staff upon arrival

if we could snag a room with a terrace.

Unfortunately, all rooms were already assigned and couldn't be changed. Bummer, but okay...

​

​

While missing out on the terrace was a slight letdown,

the lush, green forest view from our window was still beautiful! Haha.

Plus, the central lobby was so fantastic that even without a private terrace,

we were incredibly happy throughout our entire stay.

​

​

⚠️ If you specifically want a terrace room,

I highly recommend emailing them right after you book!

We booked the ✔️ Standard Double Room / Mountain View,

but it turns out the "mountain" wasn't the Eiger...

Lesson learned! Haha.

4. Shared Bathroom & Kitchen Facilities

The Shared Bathroom

​

Even though it's a shared bathroom,

it's not shared with the whole floor—

it's only shared between two rooms!

We never even bumped into our neighbors,

so it honestly felt like a private ensuite.

Zero inconvenience at all.

​

​

Fresh towels aren't provided daily,

so we alternated between the provided towels and

a few travel towels we brought ourselves.

✔️ There are hangers available, so if you hang them up in the morning,

→ they dry out perfectly for the next day.

That's how we managed!

​

The Shared Kitchen

​

The shared kitchen is located downstairs,

and the views here are just as mind-blowing.

​

​

How can a shared kitchen have a view like this?

The space is incredibly clean and spacious,

and it's fully stocked with cookware and utensils.

However, there are no chopsticks,

✅ so if you plan on eating noodles, definitely pack some! *,*

​

​

Since dining out in Switzerland is notoriously expensive,

my sister and I hit up the local Coop supermarket after hiking.

We bought pizza, ramen, and fresh fruit to eat at the lodge!

There's an oven, making it super easy to ✔️ heat up pizzas

or even ✔️ buy some meat to roast for dinner. *.*

​

​

Sitting by the window with that view while eating dinner...

it really hit me that I was actually in Switzerland, yet it still felt surreal!

Haha!

​

​

​

A perfect blend of private comfort and communal convenience:

The Eiger View Alpine Lodge in Grindelwald.

​

​

The location is fantastic because it's not too deep into the mountains

that it requires a long bus ride!

Plus, if you need groceries, it's just a quick 10-minute walk down

to the local Coop supermarket. *.*

​

​

After all the research and hesitation before booking,

I couldn't be happier with our stay at the Eiger View Alpine Lodge.

Whether you're looking for a romantic honeymoon spot

or a practical base for a family trip, I highly recommend it!
