¡Las mejores reseñas!
Leemos cada reseña y realmente apreciamos todo tipo de comentarios. Las positivas nos levantan el ánimo y las críticas nos ayudan a crecer.
Dicho esto, hemos decidido no responder a cada reseña individualmente. En lugar de eso, elegimos concentrar nuestro tiempo y energía en mejorar las cosas aquí en el albergue.
Sabemos que hoy en día la gente suele esperar que las empresas respondan a cada reseña, en parte para demostrar que les importa y en parte para aumentar la visibilidad en línea. Y nos importa profundamente. Pero responder a cada comentario solo para que parezca que nos importa no nos parece auténtico. Somos un grupo muy humano y nos encanta conectarnos de manera real. Preferimos mantener las cosas reales que convertir las reseñas en un ejercicio de casillas de verificación.
También sabemos que las reseñas son profundamente personales y subjetivas. Léalos teniendo esto en cuenta y tome lo que le resulte útil para decidir si Balmers es el lugar adecuado para su estadía.
En una nota más personal: recibir una crítica negativa, especialmente cuando se debe a una falta de comunicación, puede ser realmente desalentador. Nuestro equipo siempre está disponible para conversar en persona, y también puedes comunicarte con nosotros por correo electrónico, teléfono o WhatsApp si algo no anda bien durante tu estadía. Preferimos intentar arreglar las cosas en tiempo real que leer sobre ellas más tarde, cuando ya sea demasiado tarde para ayudar.
Todos aquí en Balmers realmente se preocupan por lo que hacemos. Queremos que su tiempo con nosotros se convierta en parte del tipo de recuerdos “buenos, mejores e increíbles” que se lleva a casa.

When you get to meet Erich Balmer himself, you know it’s not just a hostel; it’s a proper piece of Interlaken history.
Stories, smiles, and a legendary Balmer’s moment with the man behind the name.
Stay where the stories started.

Does the idea of dangling 600 meters (2000 feet) above the Lauterbrunnen Valley floor interest you?
How about walking across a tightrope, with nothing below you except a rushing river?
Or how about walking across a wobbly, narrow suspension bridge?
If you said yes to all of these questions, then put the Mürren via ferrata on your list of things to do in Switzerland.
The Mürren via ferrata is a 2.2 km journey, part via ferrata and part hiking trail. You’ll cling to a cliff, climb down steep ladders, walk on a tightrope and a suspension bridge, and (with a guide) zip line across a ravine.
This is one of the most thrilling experiences to have in the Bernese Oberland.
ABOUT THE MÜRREN VIA FERRATA
Distance:
2.2 km (1.4 miles) one-way
Elevation Loss:
300 meters
Difficulty:
K3 on the German scale
Length of Time:
3 hours
Start:
Mürren
End:
Gimmelwald
When to go:
The via ferrata is open from June 1 to October 31, from 9 am to 6 pm
Required Gear:
Harness, via ferrata set, helmet, hiking shoes
Cost:
Free
Official website:
Klettersteig Mürren
Important Note: You cannot climb the via ferrata in the rain or if rain is in the forecast. The metal steps are very slippery when wet. During our visit, we had to wait several days for the forecast to be clear before we could climb the Mürren via ferrata.

Ready to take the leap? 💦🪨
Cliff jumping is one of those unforgettable Interlaken experiences. Crystal-clear water, epic scenery, and just the right amount of adrenaline. Whether you`re sending it from the highest jump or cheering your mates on, it`s guaranteed to be a day to remember.
Who`s brave enough? 😏
🏡 Stay at Balmer`s, play in Interlaken.

Running above Interlaken 🇨🇭 by @scottrunning
Fav trail #1: Hardergrat Ridge!
The Hardergrat Ridge just hits different.
Started this run from the Interlaken Ost train station, going up the Hardergrat Kulm and then running the full ridge all the way to Rothorn, then descending to Brienz for a well-deserved dip in the lake. A total of 35km and 3100 D+ in 7 hours… with insane views along the way!
⚠️ The Hardergrat ridge has several exposed spots and I would not recommend it if you are not very comfortable moving theough technical, exposed terrain. You got to be careful while hiking there, let alone running. Bring shoes with good grip and avoid it on (or after) rainy days. You can get the view without doing the whole ridge, by just hiking up or taking the train up to Harder Kulm, and keep hiking for roughly an hour.

Fresh mountain water, straight from our brand-new fountain, installed by Erich Balmer. 💧
Known as "the best drinking water", it`s the perfect place to refill your bottle before heading out to explore Interlaken – whether you`re off hiking, paragliding, rafting or simply wandering the town.
Small touches like this are part of what makes Balmer`s feel like home. Stop by, take a sip, and taste the Swiss Alps at their finest.
