The blue…read morelake, the snow-capped mountains, the free-roaming cows...it's the perfect Switzerland landscape! It's also an UNESCO World Heritage Site! We took a cable car from Kandersteg but hardcore hikers can also hike up the mountain, which adds a couple of hours to the entire trip. If you have the Swiss Pass or Half Pass, it's half off of the ride! From the start of the ride, you can see some amazing views already. There's a river that passes the station and there are several small waterfalls along the mountain that feed into it. For a summer day, it was pretty cold in the morning but we quickly got over that once we started the hike. From the cable car station, it's still a 15-20 minute walk to the lake but we decided to just start the hike before it could get hotter. If you go clockwise, you'll go by the lake first but I'd recommend going the other way so you could end the hike at the lake. The initial ascent is tough but we took our time and enjoyed the scenery. It's not really a dangerous hike...just don't be stupid and wear decent shoes. Lots of side trails to some amazing observation points and picnic spots so take your time to explore them all! There's also some mountain huts that sell snacks, beers, and fresh milk along the trail. By the time we got to the lake, there were a lot of people out and about enjoying the waters. People were swimming along the shores, renting little boats to row out, and having picnics. You can definitely spend an entire day here and with just the hike, we spent over 5 hours. There's also a summer toboggan that was really fun! Highly recommend making this a day trip from Interlaken or even staying the night in Kandersteg.

However, when we received the bill, we were charged for one fondue each at price $27 per pot plus $9 ham for each. On the menu it stated one fondue for 2 people which we thought was shared between two people. My reviews are always honest and the although I include the price point in my final rating, the food was not even that good. The cheese tasted more like wine than cheese and the bread was hard. The ham tasted alright and was admittedly not bad but this price point and service just wasn't what we were expecting. We spoke to the manager about this and she was very condescending towards us. She said in Switzerland you would never share food and that you could never eat for 13 franks in Switzerland but there was a pizza on the menu for 15 franks. She started saying we were disrespecting Switzerland culture and that this wasn't some type of buffet when we were just trying to understand why our bill was so high. She said she didn't have time to "deal with us" because the restaurant was too busy but there were so many empty tables. Everyone was all smiles before we paid but was rude after we paid and tried to get us out. Overall $144 Swiss franks JUST for cheese was not a good experience. There was also a piece of hair on my ham which I regret not mentioning to the server....

I cannot say enough good things about Bernerhof.

We stayed at Bernerhof for four nights with our entire family (10 adults, 4 children), and they were so accommodating. The breakfast spread is delicious and filling, the front desk staff is so friendly, and the location truly cannot be beat. We've traveled all over the world and the views from the Bernerhof hotel balcony are hands down the best. They're located in the center of town, just a short walk from the gondola up to Oeschinensee, and easy access to anywhere else in town, including the transit stops. Traveling overseas was a bit challenging for the little ones in our group, but the Bernerhof has a children's playroom and they were so so sweet to the children even when they were a little rambunctious. Staying at the Bernerhof felt like staying with family, just with really fancy and comfortable accommodations. They went above and beyond to make our stay in Kandersteg memorable and they made our micro wedding extra special with all of their thoughtful touches and customizations - our trip and wedding would not have been the same without them. I cannot recommend the Bernerhof highly enough - thank you again to Claudia and Gerhard and the entire staff for a stay of a lifetime!
