Balmers Hostel

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. Community is an essential part of Balmers. We organise guest activities and casual social moments that make it easy to meet other travellers. Our little bar is a cosy place to wind down after a day out exploring. During the summer months, we move it outside into our beer garden. We also have an on-site club that opens once or twice a week, depending on the season and the crowd. Entrance is exclusively for our guests. To help keep costs down for our guests, we expanded our guest kitchen. It has all the equipment you need to cook your own meal, and there are several supermarkets nearby for supplies. On days you don’t feel like cooking, you’ll find a range of restaurants in the neighbourhood, including Swiss, Thai, Vietnamese, and Portuguese cuisine. Nestled between two lakes, Interlaken is a renowned base for outdoor adventures. You can do anything from hiking and kayaking to paragliding, skiing, and rafting. All of that with the famous Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau dominating the skyline. It is genuinely impressive and beautiful. And in between all of that, it’s our team that helps make Balmers feel like home. We’re around, happy to help with plans, and always up for a chat. We’d love to have you! Come by and make yourself at home.
