In the wide expanse of the Simmental valley, framed by grassy hills, rugged rock faces and the glaciated Wildstrubel, the Lenk Lodge, which is over 100 years old, offers spectacular views and individual rooms.
Built in 1921 as a simple farmhouse, later used at times as a holiday residence and at others as a family home, the old farm has been transformed by its current owners into a place of retreat with a variety of apartments. While the dark wooden façade on the outside tells of its former use as a farm, light wood and spacious rooms provide atmospheric clarity on the inside. Surrounded by a large meadow and two sun terraces.
As flexible as the stay in the “adults only” hideaway can be, as unique are the six holiday apartments as well as the double room and the single room. Whether it is a small pergola balcony, a specially designed bathroom, a hanging chair in the kitchen or a tiled stove in the bedroom — each accommodation has its very own character and charm.
The spacious loft flat under the roof of the extension is also suitable for yoga classes and workshops. The ‘Manufactum’, a small in-house hotel shop, offers all kinds of wondrous things. A high-quality music system with record player and a selection of vinyl records provides an analogue sound experience. The small gondola sauna offers relaxation in an extraordinary atmosphere. This makes Lenk Lodge in the Bernese Oberland an ideal starting point for excursions into the varied mountain world and to yourself.
What to do
