Experience a hotel full of history, embedded in breathtaking nature.
The traditional Grandhotel Giessbach combines the charm of the 19th century with modern comfort - for unforgettable stays, events and conferences.
With its enchanted hiking trails and secluded spots under magnificent trees, the roaring, white-foaming Giessbach Falls, the oldest funicular railroad in Europe and its breathtaking views of the lake and mountains, Giessbach is not only a popular excursion destination. It is also a very special place of power.
The non-profit Giessbach Foundation was established in 1983 by famous animal and environmental conservationist Franz Weber to save the historically valuable grand hotel from the Belle Époque from demolition and to preserve this beautiful piece of home above Lake Brienz as a shared heritage.
