Stay in Swiss Heartland
The spacious Milibach apartment is located in a two-story chalet in a quiet neighborhood of Meiringen, a small town with gorgeous mountain scenery and great transportation connections.
Its two bedrooms are on the ground floor. The master bedroom has a queen bed (split mattress) and the smaller bedroom has two twin beds placed end to end. A bathroom with a shower stall is on the same level.
The second floor is reached via a spiral staircase with 13 steps. It opens to a large open-plan kitchen/dining room/living room. The kitchen has most modern conveniences but does not have a microwave or dishwasher. The comfortable lounge area boasts a new leather sofa and a nice big dining table. There is a small balcony on the second floor with seating for two and a beautiful view of the mountains and of other nearby houses. There is also a second bathroom with a shower on this floor.
The apartment is in a quiet residential neighborhood about a 10-15 minute walk from the train station. It's only about 5 minutes to the gondola station with service to the Hasliberg mountainside with its many scenic hiking trails. The closest restaurant is a pizzeria less than 5 minutes away. Further up the main street are other restaurants, grocery stores, and shops.

Meiringen, Switzerland - Heartland, Home of Milibach
Meiringen, a bustling small town of 5,000, lies in a deep valley surrounded by high mountains, from which drop numerous spectacular waterfalls. Located on one of the most important and centuries-old trade routes through the Alps, Meiringen’s reputation as a tourist center started with Louis Agassiz’s scientific expedition to the Grimsel Pass in the nineteenth century and the coming of the car.
Today, it is the point of origin for more exciting Alpine bus trips than perhaps any town in Europe (Grimsel and Susten Passes, Rosenlaui and Grindelwald.) It is also the starting point for excursions to the famous Aare Gorge, formed during the last Ice Age, and the Reichenbach waterfalls. Michael’s Church is one of the most beautiful concert halls in central Europe and venue for an annual music festival in the summer.
Meiringen offers a great variety of restaurants, 2 large supermarkets, shops of all kinds, banks and ATMs, a fascinating local folk culture museum and excavations of ruins dating back to the first millennium.
If that’s not enough, an amazing number of walks, hikes and climbs originate within 30 minutes of the town and range from easy to challenging.
Meiringen is well situated as a central base for travel throughout Switzerland or as the starting point for excursions into the high Alps of the Bernese Oberland. Hourly rail service on the famed Brunig Pass line connects it in 35 minutes with the resort town of Interlaken and in 90 minutes with the city of Luzern.
"I can't imagine a more wonderful setting for our visit. Meiringen is a lovely town with accessibility to major cities. We went to Lausanne, Montreaux, Lucerne, Bern, Thun and Interlaken (many times), Murren and many points in between. What a great way to experience the cultures of Switzerland!" A. Cain
