Visitor Reviews of Meiringen


christian from United Kingdom writes:

Stayed here 26Dec/3 nights at the Hotel Victoria, in Meiringen.
Enjoyed my stay here very much and 2 days on the slopes was enough here to cover the area. Great views, conditions, good runs, lifts.
Being a snowboarder though there were too many flat spots for my liking and the lifts were a bit spread out meaning walking between lifts sometimes.
Traditional resort, Swiss charm, had some sort of bell ringing tradition going on every night we were there. Enjoyed it but will probably try other resorts in the future and unlikely to go back here as a lot of other resorts in Switzerland to try!
