Frequently asked questions about hostels in Alps

  • What are the most affordable attractions for backpackers to visit in the Swiss Alps?

    For budget-conscious travellers, hiking in the Swiss Alps is unbeatable. Many trails are free, offering stunning views. Consider exploring the easily accessible areas around Interlaken, such as Harder Kulm (though the funicular ride costs money, the views are worth it for many), or taking a scenic train journey on a regional line instead of a high-speed one. Picnics are a great way to save on food costs. Free activities include visiting charming villages like Grindelwald or Wengen, exploring lakes like Lake Thun or Lake Brienz, and enjoying the fresh mountain air.
  • What are the best hostels in Alps?

    Among the hostels in Alps, Costello, 5 Terre Backpackers City and Lotte - The Backpackers are the most popular ones.

  • What are some unmissable, lesser-known spots in the Swiss Alps?

    Venture beyond the well-trodden paths to discover hidden gems. The Aletsch Glacier, while known, offers less crowded viewpoints if you hike a bit further from the main tourist areas. The charming village of Mürren, reachable only by train or cable car, provides breathtaking views and a quieter atmosphere than Interlaken. Consider exploring the Bernese Oberland region's smaller valleys, such as the Lauterbrunnen Valley with its numerous waterfalls, or the Engadine region with its unique villages and stunning scenery.
  • What are the best hostels with a pool in Alps?

  • What are the best nightlife spots in the Swiss Alps?

    Nightlife in the Swiss Alps tends to be more low-key than in major cities. Interlaken has a more vibrant nightlife scene, with several bars and pubs catering to tourists. Many smaller villages have cosy pubs and restaurants where locals and visitors mingle. Look for après-ski bars in ski resorts during the winter season, but be aware that prices can be higher in these locations.

  • What’s the ideal length of stay to get a full experience of the Swiss Alps?

    The ideal length of stay depends on your interests and travel style. A week allows for exploring a specific region, such as the Jungfrau region or the Bernese Oberland. Two weeks provides more time for exploring multiple regions and engaging in activities like hiking or watersports. A longer stay, a month or more, allows for a deeper immersion into the culture and exploration of more remote areas.

  • How can you dive deeper into the culture and connect with locals in the Swiss Alps?

    Staying in smaller, family-run guesthouses or 'Gasthöfe' instead of large hotels provides opportunities to interact with locals. Learning a few basic German, French, or Italian phrases is always appreciated. Participating in local events and festivals, such as village fêtes or farmers' markets, offers a chance to connect with the community. Taking a guided walking tour focused on local history and traditions can also be insightful.
  • Which restaurants and bars in the Swiss Alps offer the best local cuisine?

    Many restaurants in smaller villages offer traditional Swiss cuisine. Look for places that feature local specialties such as fondue, raclette, rösti, and various types of cheese. In Interlaken and other larger towns, you'll find a wider variety of restaurants, but searching for those emphasizing regional dishes will ensure an authentic experience. Try local breweries for a taste of Swiss beers.
