Historic alpine hotel Grimsel Hospiz.–        Grimsel HospiceIt is enthroned on a mighty rock spur in the reservoir. A symbol of water power. The Grimsel Hospiz is still considered one of the most comfortable mountain houses in the Alps. Behind the façade of rough broken granite and the red shutters, an interior awaits that leaves nothing to be desired. And the view from its panoramic terrace is simply stunning.        Hotel and Nature Resort HandeckThe hotel is located on the Handeck Alp at the foot of the Grimsel Pass. The shepherds and muleteers of yesteryear would never have dreamed of this. Today, "their" Alp Handeck is a very comfortable place to live.
