A welcomed change
We arrived In Interlaken Ost via train from Paris. Once in the Ost Train station, we caught a short train ride to Wilderswil. This train drops you about a 5-10 minute walk, virtually no turns, to the hotel. There were street signs pointing to Hotel Baren right by the small train station ticket area. Our visit in Paris was fun, but very overwhelming. The walk from the Train station to the hotel was so awesome! We were accompanied by cow bells, pollution free air, and views of the snow capped moutnains all around! We had a warm welcome to the hotel, given our bus pass and restaurant instructions, and taken to our room. The view from our window was directly to one of the snow-capped peaks, so there could not have been a better one. Each night we slept with the windows open and again to the sound of cow bells in the night. The breakfasts were great, the employees were helpful and fun, and the location was VERY relaxing! Thanks Hotel Baeren!!
Traveller's tip on local attractions
Beware, the busses that run to Wilderswil shut down by 8pm that run between there and Interlaken. We were able to grab a late train from Interlaken Ost(also a midnight bus once), to get us to Wilderswil. I would also totally recommend the boat trips around the lake which are quite serene. Just grab a round trip ticket at Interlaken Ost and jump off at one of the towns. It is a 3 hour round trip, so plan ahead and get there early since the last one runs around 4pm.

Nice hotel in a quaint and charming town.
The Bear Inn lives up to its name with a bear at the front entrance. The rooms are rustic and charming. The restaurents in the hotel are excellent. It is good to see many of the locals eating there.
Traveller's tip
Be sure to take the bus from the train station instead of walking!

A really Swiss hotel
If you are looking for a typical welcoming Swiss chalet style hotel, flowers round windows, views of Alps, then this is the right hotel for you. Friendly and helpful staff (who speak some English), good food, much of which is sourced locally, a good centre for touring and walking, offering a comfortable and very enjoyable stay. Also convenient for rail travellers as Wilderswil is one stop from Interlaken (no bad thing!) but a good route centre for Jungfrau and other mountain railways. Hotel provides a free bus pass for your stay which means you can get about locally very easily. Lots of nice touches to the hotel, including the teddy bears which reflect the hotels name. Definitely worth careful consideration for your holiday. We would stay there again without doubt.
Traveller's tip on local attractions
Dont miss the Jungfrau trip by rail but choose a good day for this as it’s not cheap. The local railway from Wilderswil to Schynige Platte has wonderful views of the lakes and mountains, with alpine meadows, complete with cow bells and flowers.
