The Mountainside Residence is located in the middle of the residential area of Spiez. Spiez, in turn, is close to many attractive sights such as the Kandertal, Adelboden/Lenk, as well as the Jungfrau area with Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen, Interlaken and Iseltwald.

Spiez is located at the foot of the pyramid-shaped mountain “Niesen” and offers a wonderful view of the Beatenberg and the Sigriswiler Rothorn. The beautiful city of Thun with the Schadau Castle and the castle hill is just around the corner and can also be reached by boat from Spiez.

In the immediate vicinity of the Mountainside Residence you will find the bus stop “Spiezwiler, Rössli” (10m), the bakery Felder (50m, also open on Sundays), the grocery store VOLG (250m) and the petrol station shop Pronto (600m, open until 10:00 pm) right next to the Aldi Suisse.

The bus takes you very easily to Spiez Castle on the picturesque Spiez Bay, and the Lake Thun boat dock. From Spiez train station you can reach the old town of Thun by train within 10 minutes, and the center of Bern or Interlaken East within 30 minutes.

The journeys to the Kandertal with the Adelboden/Lenk ski resort, the pretty Blausee and the impressive Oeschinensee take about the same time.

Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen, the Aare Gorge or the Brienzer Rothorn can be reached within 45 minutes. In a one-and-a-half-hour drive you can reach destinations such as Lucerne, Lausanne and Montreux.

Since this is a unsupervised residence, we are unable to provide regular food services at this time. While we strive to offer a comfortable and enjoyable experience for our guests, we have chosen to focus solely on providing accommodations and hospitality services. However, we are more than happy to assist you in finding nearby dining options where you can savor a variety of culinary delights.

The bakery Felder is very close (50 m) and offers a wide variety of crusty breads. Also opens on Sundays, 7 AM.

A little further you find the Swiss traditional Wiler Restaurant

Our favorite place to go is the Chinese Restaurant Bao Gong (about 4 Min driving). Downtuned to the european tastebuds, this place still knows how to cook authentic chinese recipies.

On a sunny day, we highly recommend to eat at the italian restaurant and pizzeria Riviera by Elio. Located right inside the bay area of spiez, this place is a perfect start for a little stroll along the water front.

If you’re into Swiss traditional dishes, we recommend the Restaurant Krone, famous for its variations of Cordon Bleu and home made Fonde.

Last but not least, the fanciest place in Spiez is the four-star restaurant Belvédère. The restaurant is renowned for its stunning views of Lake Thun and the surrounding mountains, as well as its creative and high-quality cuisine. Reservation required.
