Wow! What a great place - We'll be back

The apartment was perfect - and extremely clean! Well furnished, comfortable beds, - better than home!
Wilf & Wendy couldn't have been better hosts. They provided great advice and directions, then let us explore the incredible region on our own. It was nice having them near if we needed them, yet not feeling obligated to spend time visiting with them if we didn't want to.
Public transportation is a perfect to get around anywhere - extremely reliable and prompt - but not cheap. We were amazed at the number of well-marked walking and hiking trails that provided access to the most incredible views we've ever experienced.
When (not if) we return, we'll do our best to schedule our trip around Chalet Bärli's availability, since I don't believe there's a better value in the region.
We could have spent weeks or months there - without getting bored. And, for those looking for a great English-speaking coffee shop, laundry mat, library and internet cafe, Air Time, in downtown Lauderbrunnen is perfect.
One benefit of staying on the valley floor (vs. up in the more touristy towns of Wengen and Grindelwald) gives you better access to explore all portions of the region - since Lauderbrunnen in the central hub for the entire region.
There plenty of grocery stores in the area - so you have great options of eating in - or enjoying a wide range of restaurants.
If you're looking for glitz and glamour - and an active night life, keep on looking since you'll not find it at Chalet Bärli. However, if you're looking for a place to get away and soak in the most impressive scenery in the world, surrounded by majestic cliffs, waterfalls and valleys - this is your place.
