Iffigenalp - Lenk im Simmental

Visited this restraunt while away with village camps. the food was delicious and freshly made. service was fast and staff friendly. this is a very nice place to stop after a day of hiking (for us les rosses to iffigenalp.)

Stayed 2 nights. Bathrooms and toilets outside the rooms. Bathroom very big and clean. With lots of clean towels supplied. The rooms are in a separate building from the restaurant. quiet and cosy. The rooms are without tap and sink. A big flask and a big bowl are provided. Water taps are situated outside the rooms. Foods are nice. Schneider Weiss is served here, as well as in many parts in Southern Bernese Oberland and Northern Valaise. The hostess is ver friend and helpful. The hotel is at the terminal station of the bus from Lenk im Simmental, making it an easy starting point for either the walk to Iffigsee or to the Wildstrubel.

We ate here as part of our two-night stay at Berghaus Iffigenalp, with dinner and breakfast included as "half pension." The proprietress (Helen Gfeller) welcomed us very warmly, and worked hard to make us feel comfortable. The dinners were excellent (very tasty traditional Swiss fare, with seconds and thirds offered,) as was the breakfast buffet. The dining areas were bright and clean, with good views of the mountains and a nearby farm. After dinner, a herd of dairy cows (with cowbells ringing) filed past on their way to be milked. Berghaus Iffigenalp is quite isolated, located at the end of a narrow road (served by bus.) But it is worth the trip.
