Built in 1907, the hotel Alpenruhe Kulm was part of the first wave of hotels established in the Jungfrau region around the turn of the century. Originally a 25-room hotel in the Swiss chalet style, the former owners were proud that they were among the first hotels to provide electric light and central heating.
After being purchased in 1952 by the Prevost family, the hotel benefited from the revival of winter tourism after the Second World War. Under their management, the hotel was refurbished thoroughly in the late seventies. It was Ms Marion Prevost who led the hotel into the new century, with tireless and outstanding dedication. Professionalism and attention to detail were the core values of her 53 years of leadership.
Our team is proud to continue her legacy.
In 2018, a new chapter began. Major renovation work was carried out, taking the existing structure and characteristic elements of the hotel into consideration. The interior design pays tribute to some of Switzerland’s finest furniture makers and graphic designers and is characterized by calm colours and natural materials.
Jana & Andreas Janke have run Hotel Alpenruhe since November 2019. With their team, they work every day to ensure that guests have a good, relaxing and carefree time in a pleasant ambience.
«After living in Wengen for almost twenty years and being part of the local community, we greatly enjoy sharing our passion for the area with our guests.» Andreas Janke
