Hohfluh, Switzerland - Heartland, Home of Alpenstern
Perched on a sunny terrace above the Hasli Valley, Hohfluh is one of the most peaceful corners of the Hasliberg region, known for its open mountain views, quiet atmosphere, and easy connection to nature. Traditional chalets, green alpine meadows, and dramatic peaks create a classic Swiss mountain landscape that feels both authentic and welcoming. Whether waking up to mist rising from the valley or watching the evening light hit the surrounding mountains, Hohfluh offers a calm and restorative setting in every season.
Despite its tranquil character, Hohfluh is an excellent base for exploring the Bernese Oberland. Scenic hiking trails begin right outside the village, while nearby gondolas and mountain roads provide easy access to skiing, biking, panoramic viewpoints, and family-friendly activities throughout the year. The slower pace of life here makes it especially appealing for travelers looking to disconnect, breathe fresh alpine air, and experience the beauty of the Swiss Alps away from crowded resort towns.

Here's what our guests have to say
Barbara Jean Nemecek
The view from the apartment is stunning and as my first trip to Switzerland, it could not have been better. The apartment was clean and well supplied and we were very comfortable, it truly felt like home.
Kathleen Roberts
Having the bus two-doors down, and small grocery so close were huge plusses.
Ginny Dobie
We shared Kunzler 2 with our high school friends. We all loved it!
Linda Schrader
THAT VIEW!!! What a wonderful place to stay! We highly recommend it to anyone. Not much shopping in Hohfluh. We shopped in Meiringen, Brienz, and Interlaken. We enjoyed The Baren Restaurant.
Dean & Priscella Walker
This apartment is so comfortable and well equipped we keep coming back.
Mark & Lynn Caldwell
We loved it. Margrit was wonderful and the location was fantastic. It felt like home. I can't imagine staying anywhere else.
R & J Tevfel
Welcome food and equipment in kitchen was far-beyond our expectations.
Dean & Priscilla Walker
Our apartment was very best. Margrit Künzler was a gracious and helpful hostess - even made us a cake!
Ken and Lois Stalter
So nice and clean! Furnished nicely. Just wonderful.
Gary Shinn
Recommend highly! Margrit Künzler was exceptional. She was very friendly, helpful and willing to go that extra step. She and contacts with her family helped make our visit one of our best and enjoyable vacations ever.
Brian & Alice Clark
What a great apartment! We'll be back. The hiking was amazing, and the Swiss transportation system was so easy to use and made it possible to get anywhere and everywhere. There's even plenty to do on rainy days.
Jim & Gerry Bond
In the last 15 years we have stayed at 12 Idyll apartments. This was by far the best, even better than the one in Wales that had a billiard room and an 11th century castle tower in the footyard.
Paula Rugen
The apartment itself was outstanding & the owners were wonderful.
John & Nancy Ragatz
The welcome food was beyond all we had in the past...staples, spices, many coffees, teas, espresso - wow! Even a bottle of wine. What an outstanding welcome and stay.
