Grosse Scheidegg Mountain Pass
Immersed in the glorious alpine beauty of the Bernese Oberland, this grandiose 19th-century hotel has an unparalleled location on the Grosse Scheidegg mountain pass.
With a backdrop made up of the snow-dusted Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau mountains, the setting alone is reason enough to include the Bellevue des Alpes in your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Switzerland. Dating back to 1840, the property is regarded as one of the few remaining grand hotels from this period, and is still a family-run operation helmed by the 5th generation of Andreas and Silvia von Almen’s family.
Everything at the Bellevue, from its architecture to its star-studded guest list, is steeped in history, and even starred as the filming location for Clint Eastwood’s “The Eiger Sanction”. The rooms boast authentic interiors with period wooden furniture, patterned wallpaper and vintage bathrooms with historical fittings. Formal meals are served in the glamorous dining room, with a panoramic terrace offering dazzling alpine views. Beyond the hotel lies a world of sparkling lakes, quaint mountain villages and countless hiking trails, with easy access to the slopes and skiing areas of Wengen and Grinelwald.
