"The best pies in Grindelwald! We've tried several of their homemade fruit pies and they're so yummy! Add a friendly service and fair prices and it's just a perfect result. Views are wonderful and we can't wait to be back. After all it's just a small, gentle hike from the final bus stop at the end of the valley. Our kids loved it!"

"We came across Ischboden Hütte on our way back from Grosse Scheidegg and decided to stop for a snack. We ended up sitting in the sun and enjoying the view and the atmosphere for much longer than planned cause what a gem this place is! Lovely staff, amazing cakes and the view, oh the mesmerising view… you need to stop there, and also don’t forget to stop by the Alpenvogelpark, especially if you love Owls!"

"Take 121 bus to the end, then climb 1.5 kilometers to get here.(The road condition is good and the slope is not steep.).The scenery along the way is great. It is located at the foot of the Mittelhorn, Bärglistock and Schreckhorn mountains. There is a restaurant and a zoo nearby, which keeps some owls. The restaurant is currently closed, but near the hotel is a good place to overlook the canyon, with beautiful scenery."

"Cute little cafe&restaurant with very tasty homemade juice and special local drinks. You must try the ‚Rote Nase‘, sooo yummy, a mix between dessert and cocktail. Location is great with an awesome view to Grindelwald."

"This little Hütte has great freshly made Kuchen, milkshakes and several nice lunch dishes. What makes this little gem really stand out is the epic terrace with unforgettable views of the mountains. It is next to the Alpvogelpark and perfect to combine. The walk from Hotel Wetterhorn took about 30 minutes uphill, following the same road the bus takes. Behind Wetterhorn to the left is a small path that avoids the road."
