About
On a cliffside at 1638 meters height in the Bernese Oberland Alps, nestles a village of 400 inhabitants, a secret that has been coveted for decades by adventurers from all around the world. Located in front of three of the four highest mountains in Switzerland, inaccessible by car, and only reachable by train or cableway, lays Murren, one of the most photographed villages in the world.
In 1911, British writer J.R.R. Tolkien discovered this postcard landscape, which was to become the main scenic inspiration for his literary masterpiece The Lord of the Rings. From the iconic scenes in the James Bond film On Her Majesty’s Secret Service in the panoramic Piz Gloria restaurant, which offers a 360-degree view on more than 200 Alpine peaks, to the perilous death of Sherlock Holmes in the Reichenbach Falls, the Lauterbrunnen Valley and its surroundings have fascinated travelers and artists for decades.
The Hotel Drei Berge, named after the three mountains that the guests can see from their windows, Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau, the Ogre, the Monk and the Young Girl, punished for mistreating an old forest magician, breathes new life into the Hotel Bellevue, established in Murren since 1907.
Started in 2023, the renovation of the building focuses on respecting the materials and adding a contemporary touch to the existing furniture: harmonized interior and exterior woodwork, emblazoned carpets, quality linens, custom- made cosmetics and unique vintage decorations.
The transformation of the hotel also extends to the restaurant: a healthy cuisine concocted with fresh and seasonal products is offered to the residents for the traditional Swiss breakfast, lunch and dinner, whose menus have been developed by a hand-picked team that includes a Japanese chef and an experienced oenologist.
The Drei Berge also offers a variety of sports and leisure activities, such as hiking trails adapted to the season and level of the guests, a cinema with an eclectic program, camping under the stars, yoga against the backdrop of the Alpine panorama, lessons at the Tennis Club, paragliding, a sauna and a swimming pool.
Welcome to the Hotel Drei Berge, which opens its doors to visitors for a timeless interlude in the village of Murren.
