Today, as in 1875, the historic hotel residence at the Giessbach Falls above Lake Brienz is a world of its
own. Surrounded by 22 hectares of forests and alpine meadows, this fairytale castle from the Belle Epoque never ceases to amaze with its breathtaking view of the unspoilt Lake Brienz landscape.

Embark on a journey through time of a different kind, as history comes alive again here. Europe‘s oldest funicular takes you from the hotel‘s own boat landing up to the hotel - the vegetable gardens of yesteryear that are being cultivated again – the busy bees that produce the Giessbach honey and, of course, lots of peace and quiet.
