Our chalet was originally built in 1866, one year after the road to Beatenberg from Interlaken was constructed. Our chalet was originally the Hotel Jungfrau and the neighboring building, the Hotel Des Alpes was also constructed that year. They were the second and third guesthouses built in Beatenberg. Our specific location with direct views of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau as well as our view to lake Thun was perfectly chosen for such an endeavor. In the early 1900s Beatenberg experienced the Belle Epoche period where tourism bloomed (especially for the aristocracy of Europe seeking refuge from the cities with fresh, clean air, peaceful surroundings with beautiful panoramic views and a closeness to nature). After the Second World War, tourism essentially stopped. Our home and neighboring building then became an orphanage for children from the war and was run as such for the next 30 years. At that point the two buildings were converted into an Alpine boarding school. In the late 1980's our chalet was then converted into 5 self-contained apartments. We purchased the chalet in 2015 and have invested much effort in restoring it lovingly to its present state where people from all over the world can again enjoy this spectacular location and views.
