I can't recommend this place enough. Great spot with unparalleled views. Hearty food, refreshing beers and not to forget the delicious desserts. Always expect a warm welcome from Jeanette, Hanspeter and the rest of the staff. I'd give it 6 stars if possible.

First I would like to say, many people have a stick up their backside. The amount of unfriendly and unreasonable reviews here are really making me sad. I have been coming and sending people to Naturfreunde for 5 years now and NEVER had I heard a bad comment, or at least not worth a 1 star, about how it works. Waiting times long? Yes on the BUSIEST day of the year but then it is long waiting everywhere. Use your brain people and be a bit reasonable and kind.. The owners and employees work very hard to give the tourist an amazing and homely experience. TAKE MY COMMENT FOR SERIOUS, go on your own once to Naturfreunde and make up your own mind, do not listen to the grumpy sad people on here, they will complain about something anyway I would like to thank the workers and owners here for always being ready and actually being friends and not only workers.. they have an open ear and make you feel like you are home here, if the waiting times are a bit longer then I suggest to open your eyes and realise that you are probably not the only person in there. Lots of love and positive vibes for Naturfreunde and the team

The food at Naturfreundehaus is homemade and you taste it! The homemade Chässpätzli and fruit cake is delicious and the price is unbeatable for the quality. The hosts make sure to create a friendly and relaxing atmosphere and you can enjoy your food with the view of the mountains in the midst of the calm forest.

Really friendly host, small but cozy rooms and clean bathrooms. Great offer for a cheap price. The only thing not perfect was that the menu didn't include any vegetables
