Belvedere,at mountain pace.

A five-star grand hotel from 1912 in Wengen, the car-free village above the Lauterbrunnen Valley, facing the Jungfrau.

The way up

Wengen has no cars. The last stretch is the Wengernalp cogwheel train, then a short walk to a discreet sign and a tree-lined path.

Built in 1912

Restored with the patience it deserved. Two early 20th-century buildings, the historic Belvedere and the quieter Waldrand, kept their Heimatstil and Art Nouveau décor.

The architects Arnaud Christin of Complete Works and Valéry Clavien of Clavien & Associés kept the old décor and had the furniture made with traditional Alpine techniques.
