“This lodge sits just off Grindelwald's main street, placing the First gondola within easy reach. I think that the quiet nights, punctuated by distant cowbells, add to the alpine charm. Its blend of private and shared bathroom options positions it as a budget-conscious choice in an otherwise expensive area.”
