In 2015 Mr Carl Cronje set out to create the landscaped gardens that is now one of the top attractions in Wilderswil. He personally re-designed and landscaped the gardens over a period of 2 years. Here you will find rose gardens, organic vegetables garden (used in the local restaurant), scented herb garden and nearly 20 tall forest trees. All with the stunning glaciers and mountains as backdrop.

I first stayed at this hotel in December 2016. It was amazing! The hotel really has that mountain feel about it which fits in with it's location surrounded by mountains. I then subsequently stay there in March 2018 during the Ski Week (which in itself is highly recommended) and again during the Ski Week in March 2019. I even persuaded my parents to join in March 2019 and they were impressed, even being such experienced travelers. I already have plans to stay at the Alpenrose again in March 2020 during their annual Ski Week. The Hotel Alpenrose is the perfect hotel for a holiday in the Jungfrau region of Switzerland. It is filled with history and interesting artifacts. The hotel has a lovely breakfast room where a buffet is served in the mornings. A good selection of cold meats, cheese and fruits are on offer as well as breads, warm drinks, fruit juice and a variety of cereals. There is also a lounge area which is great for some relaxation. In the evenings the restaurant is vibrant and fill of atmosphere. The food is very well priced yet is of a very high standard. I would highly recommend trying the rosti. The rooms are very clean and are fairly spacious with good views of the mountains. All of the staff are extremely friendly, efficient and offer great service. The location of Hotel Alpenrose is perfect for accessibility in terms of arriving and departing as well as accessing the Jungfrau Ski Region. The Wilderswil bus and train station is a few minutes walk from the hotel. From there you can easily go to Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwand and the ski areas on from those two villages. In the other direction you can easily access Interlaken and the main train stations of Interlaken Ost and Interlaken West. This makes the hotel extremely easy to access on arrival (I have arrived from Zurich, Frankfurt and Geneva). Similarly, onward travel after your stay is also very easy. For a good value for money hotel with great rooms and views, fabulous meals, superb staff and perfect location, the Hotel Alpenrose is the obvious choice.

Not too far from the city centre this medium sized botanic garden is worth repeat visits as the seasons change. Peaceful park-like atmosphere plus 3 large glasshouses containing plants and trees from different climate zones. And 3 small but interesting fish tanks!

Come here on a summer evening with your sweetheart or a group of friends, bring a picnic or get a take-away coffee at Rosengarten restaurant and simply enjoy the view over Bern, the Aare river and surroundings. This is very popular with locals and tourists alike.

On a visit to the garden this week I saw a lot of spring flowers. There were crocus, aconites and hellebores in flower and a number of early flowering shrubs with a lovely perfume such as shrubby honeysuckle. There was frogspawn in the pond and you can see the goats in their enclosure. There is also a playground for small children. The only thing it lacks is a cafe for tea and cakes! For that you need to walk to central Meyrin. Daphne
