Berghotel Trübsee

We were extremely comfortable and had a few days of absolute downtime here. Location is perfect if you’re planning to ski/hike. You need to be up the mountain before the lift closes at 5pm - our plane landed in Zurich at noon and, travelling by train, this was very comfortably achievable. Everything is clean and welcoming. Our balcony, facing the Trübsee, was sunny in the afternoons, beds were comfortable (though three people to a room felt a little cramped). We loved being able to get up, have a wonderful breakfast, then be straight out and able to ski. At the end of the day, coming home to a sauna was also great. There is an Intersport in the building for ski/boot hire if needed, though this is only open 10.00-16.00. In the ski room there are snow shoes you can borrow if you fancy snow shoeing rather than skiing. Plenty of of great routes direct from the hotel. Be aware that things do close down in the evening- there is not a wild nightlife up here. This was perfect for us, but won’t be for everyone.

Zimmer klein aber einwandfrei. Frühstücksbuffet reichhaltig und qualitativ hervorragend. Abendessen (Halbpension) absolut mangelhaft, lieblos gekocht, schlecht gewürzt, selten wirklich heiss. Selbst Trockenreis vom Kindermenue fühlt sich hart und ungekocht an. Älplermakkaronen werden als ungewürzte Pampe ohne Käse und Röstzwiebeln am Buffet auf den Teller geklatscht. Der Risotto wurde als "Knödel" serviert, klebrig, ungewürzt und absolut ungeniessbar. Die Pouletbrüstli dazu waren so trocken, dass man diese kaum mehr schneiden konnte. Die Desserts waren immer gut.
