Hospizbahn

In summer

In a matter of minutes, our Hospizbahn brings hikers from the Grimsel Hospiz down to Sommerloch at the foot of the Grimsel dam and to the hiking routes leading towards the Räterichsbodensee reservoir and Lake Grimsel.

Please note: The Spitallamm dam is closed to hikers until 2025 due to major construction works. The Lauteraarhütte can be reached from Grimsel Hospiz with the Hospizbahn via Sommerloch and Juchliweg.

In winter

Following the trip through the tunnels on the Hospizbahn, the last leg of the adventurous trip to the winter oasis leads directly to the doorstep of the Historic Alpine Hotel Grimsel Hospiz. This is reserved exclusively for hotel guests.
