The Pinte
Steeped in tradition, the “Pinte” restaurant has always been a place where regulars have met travelling adventurers, savoured good Swiss cooking and lifted a glass to life. The Hotel Pinte is the oldest hotel in Grindelwald and is part of the Bergwelt Grindelwald, the new Alpine design resort.
THE RESTAURANT - A SYMBOL OF TRADITION
The Pinte has been serving fresh, high-quality Swiss cuisine since 1843. Julius Mühlbach and his team are continuing this tradition. At lunchtime, you can enjoy delicious menus with refreshing drinks followed by a strong coffee. In the afternoon, you can enjoy homemade desserts while watching village life. In the evening, white tablecloths invite you to enjoy a delicious meal.

The bar –
Ye Olde Spotted Cat
The legendary stone cat by the front door goes with the Pinte as Grindel goes with Wald. It is said that touching it brings you luck. This is where the people of the village meet after an eventful day, as the sun goes down and the moon rises in the night sky. Stories are told, old friends are greeted warmly and new friendships are forged.

The history –
a Grindelwald legend
The Pinte owes its name to its burly original host, Fritz Bohren. “Pintefritz” first became host in 1888. With a glint in his eye, a cheroot in the corner of his mouth and a flat cap perched on his head, he took very good care of his guests. He would give soaked travellers grog, dry clothes and a friendly word or two.
