Drei Berge Hotel

Not only is the recently renovated hotel a captivating synergy of past and present, but it provides unrivalled, jaw-dropping views of three of Switzerland’s highest mountains, Eiger, Jungfrau and Mönch. In fact, those views are so impressive that the locale has acted as filming locations for James Bond and Sherlock Holmes, as well as scenic inspiration for J.R.R Tolkien’s epic Lord of the Rings trilogy.

It’s clear to see that Touhami is a stickler for details from the plethora of finishing touches at every turn. Each room has monogrammed bed linen and towels made by Beltrami, a small eco-conscious Italian manufacturer which uses fibres made from European birch trees. Elsewhere you’ll notice expertly curated playlists, bespoke plates and glassware, and even a signature scent throughout, all designed by Touhami and his team, of course. 

The hotel’s transformation doesn’t stop at the design though, its restaurant is now a welcome retreat after a long day of slaloming slopes or scaling mountains. You won’t find any fondue here though, instead, a thoughtful and electric blend of Swiss, Japanese, Italian and Asian cuisines made with fresh seasonal ingredients. After a hearty meal, the bar serves as the perfect place to enjoy the views with a cocktail or glass of wine specially selected by the hotel’s in-house oenologist.

You can’t come to this part of the world without exploring the majestic natural beauty that defines it. Of course, Mürren hosts a total of 52km of ski runs, but if skiing isn’t your thing then luckily the Drei Berge offers a slew of other sporting and leisure activities including seasonal hiking trails, tennis, paragliding, panoramic yoga, camping under the stars, a cinema and an indoor swimming pool complete with a sauna – phew. After all of that, you can escape to the hotel’s bookshop-cum-library.

Lastly, the hotel offers a private driver service to ensure a stress-free arrival. A custom Range Rover Defender will pick you up from Interlaken station before heading through forest roads to the cable car which takes you up the mountain to the hotel’s door.
