Mountain inn Faulhorn

The Faulhorn mountain inn stands at an elevation of 2681 meters, offering both private rooms and dormitory accommodations for overnight stays in the Bernese Alps.

Built in 1830, the Faulhorn mountain inn remains one of the earliest mountain accommodations in the Alps, following only Rigi-Kulm and Kurhaus in construction date.

The Swiss government recognizes the Faulhorn inn as a cultural property of cantonal significance, preserving its traditional Alpine hospitality and architectural heritage.

Visitors need to reach the mountain inn through physical effort as no mechanical transportation exists, making advance planning and proper hiking equipment essential.

From the inn's location, guests observe a complete 360-degree panorama extending from Germany's Black Forest to seven Swiss lakes and the peaks of Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau.
