About
-- Important Info: Please note this Hostel is not a family-friendly hostel and all guests have to be at least 18 years old.--
Come to Balmers and stay in the oldest private hostel in Switzerland! Our hostel is situated in three traditional Swiss wooden chalets that surround a courtyard, terrace and garden. The look and feel of our accommodation can best be described as playful, comfy and unique.
We cater to active travellers that come to Interlaken to explore the Alps.
In the guest kitchen, you’ll find all the amenities needed to cook yourself a nutritious meal. No need to plan your meals ahead, as the supermarket is just 2 min walk away and open 365 days a year.
Known as the adventure capital of Europe, Interlaken is the perfect destination for enthusiasts of the outdoors. Prepare to be awed when you start to explore the stunning Swiss Alps that rise up behind Interlaken.
Our reception staff know all the great hikes, bike trails and sightseeing spots in the region. Talk to them if you want help with planning next day’s adventure or if you want more info on the activities such as paragliding, skydiving, rafting and canyoning.
A random little note about reviews
We read every single review - and we truly appreciate the time you take to share your experience. The good ones make our day, and the critical ones help us grow.
We’ve chosen not to reply to every review individually - not because we don’t care, but because we do. Deeply. We’d rather spend that time making things better, chatting with you in person, or sharing stories over breakfast than writing templated replies just to “tick the box.”
We know reviews are personal and subjective - so we encourage you to read through them, get a feel for our vibe, and see if we’re your kind of place.
If something’s off during your stay, please tell us while you’re here. We’re always around and genuinely happy to help. We’re human, we care, and we love keeping things real.
