Hasliberg suits families and walkers who want a terrace above Meiringen, with about 60 km of ski slopes and a children's ski area. It is four small villages rather than one centre, so distances between them add up.
Hasliberg sits on a south-west facing terrace above the Aare valley at about 1,000 m, strung out as four villages, Hohfluh, Wasserwendi, Goldern and Reuti, from west to east. Fewer than 1,200 people live here, so there is no town centre to speak of. Most homes have a garden and some have a fireplace. A few have a sauna, and none have a pool. Gondolas climb from Reuti via Mägisalp to Planplatten, above 2,200 m, and from Wasserwendi to Käserstatt, while a cable car links Meiringen in the valley to Reuti. Winter has toboggan runs and winter hiking trails besides the skiing. In summer the Trift Glacier walk, with its suspension bridge, is within reach.
The valley town below, with the Sherlock Holmes Museum in the old English church and the meringue it claims to have invented.
A river gorge you walk through on safe wooden paths, with the force of the water close at hand.
Reached by a historic funicular, with a hiking trail to the spot associated with the Holmes and Moriarty fight.
A high mountain pass with wide views, reached by Postbus from Meiringen.
The lake and the Ballenberg open-air museum are both a short trip away, and make an easy day out when the weather turns.
Zurich is the usual airport, about an hour and a half by car to Meiringen, or around three hours by train via Lucerne. Brünig-Hasliberg station is about 4 km from Hohfluh and 8 km from Reuti, linked by PostBus. A car makes the four villages much easier to use.
Winter is the main season, with around 60 km of slopes, the Skihäsliland children's area, toboggan runs and winter hiking trails. Summer suits the Aare Gorge, Reichenbach Falls and the Trift Glacier walk with its suspension bridge. Guests can pick up the Haslital Guest Card for discounts on mountain railways, admissions and public transport.
Yes, particularly for younger children. The ski area has Skihäsliland, a dedicated children's area, plus toboggan runs and winter hiking trails. In summer the Aare Gorge is walkable on safe wooden paths, which small legs can manage.
About 60 km of slopes, according to Switzerland Tourism. Gondolas run from Reuti via Mägisalp to Planplatten and from Wasserwendi to Käserstatt. It is mid-sized, so strong skiers may want a day trip elsewhere.
No. It is four villages, Hohfluh, Wasserwendi, Goldern and Reuti, listed west to east on a terrace at around 1,000 m. Check which one your home is in, because the lifts start at Reuti and Wasserwendi.
Easily. The falls are by Meiringen, down in the valley, reached by a historic funicular. A hiking trail leads to the site of the Holmes and Moriarty fight, and the Sherlock Holmes Museum is in Meiringen's old English church.
It helps. A car is the easiest way to move between the four villages and down to Meiringen. The station at Brünig-Hasliberg is 4 to 8 km away with a PostBus link, and a cable car runs from Meiringen up to Reuti.
