Historisches Berghotel Schwarenbach inmitten der imposanten Berner Alpen am Gemmipass

The Gemmi Pass

An ancient trade route and a postal route: the Gemmi was once the most frequented pass in the Alps! It connects the cantons of Bern and Valais. In the middle of the pass at 2061 m.a.s.l. stands one of the oldest inns in Alpine Valais: the Berghotel Schwarenbach. Then as now, the mountain inn is in the right place; it is a stage destination or starting point for mountain tours and numerous hikes.

From Kandersteg, you can take the Sunnbühlbahn cable car up the mountain and hike to the Berghotel Schwarenbach in just over an hour, covering an altitude difference of only 200 meters. From Leukerbad in Valais, you can reach the mountain hotel via the Gemmibahn cable car and the pass of the same name in about 1.5 hours, covering a pleasant altitude difference of 250 meters downhill.

This makes it a popular hiking destination for less athletic visitors and families, and it enjoys great popularity as a result.

The location offers a haven of relaxation amidst the remoteness of the high Alps.
