Property Description
The Grand Hotel Regina Alpin Welllfit, member of the prestigious Leading Small Hotels of the World, is situated in the center of the beautiful glacier village Grindelwald in the heart of the Swiss Alps. Located opposite the little train station, it forms the perfect starting point for a day of superb skiing in the vast ski areas of the Jungfrau region, or an unforgettable excursion to the Jungfraujoch "The Top of Europe." The hotel was built in 1900 for the then predominantly Brittish clientele. The turreted Victorian-style building still reflects the spirit of those days. In 1955 the hotel was bought by Mr. Alfred Krebs and completely refurbished. Millions more have been invested since, with the principal aim to enhance guest comfort. 1977 marked the opening of the Reginahaus, a chalet style building which houses nine luxurious apartments for two to six persons. The Reginahaus is linked to the main building by an underground passage with a shopping arcade and direct access to the new Alpin Wellfit Club. -Hotel Closure- Hotel closed for season, effective October 5th 2006 to Decmeber 16th 2006.

Related Switzerland Content
Small, mountainous and wealthy, with a population of just 7.5 million, Switzerland is renowned for its enviable quality of life in a country that ticks along like clockwork. Its products are sought after the world over, from its delicious cheese and chocolate to luxurious watches whose timekeeping is as sharp as a Swiss Army Knife, another popular export from this sophisticated Alpine nation.
Switzerland’s famed political neutrality, financial power and isolated location, ring-fenced by breathtaking mountains, have enabled it to play a safe
but central role in European affairs. The conveniently central location in the middle of Europe has also made Switzerland a favorite meeting place for conventions and international conferences - Geneva, for instance, is home to the United Nations.
Switzerland is not only a place for professionals, though. As a stylish tourist destination it offers such top ski resorts as Zermatt, Verbier and celebrity-studded St Moritz, while the white peaks of mountains set against blue skies make a wonderful backdrop for summertimehiking. The ancient capital of Berne provides superb opportunities for sightseeing, shopping and traditional folk entertainment while the largest city, Zürich leads the way in arts, design and nightlife, from opera and world-class theater to stylish bars and nightclubs.
Switzerland’s unique political model is based on consensus-building, and, considering that the country consists of several culturally different groups speaking different languages (Swiss German, French, Italian and Romansch), its peaceful domestic situation is admirable. And while the Swiss in practice have been neutral in foreign affairs for several centuries, they are increasingly willing to get more involved in world affairs and deploy the skills in democracy and diplomacy they have developed domestically on the international stage. Switzerland finally joined the United Nations in 2002, and signed the Schengen treaty in 2005, showing their support for the European Union.
Geography Landlocked Switzerland shares borders with France to the west, Germany to the north, Austria and Liechtenstein to the east and Italy to the south. It has the highest mountains in Europe, together with waterfalls, rivers and lakes set amid green pastures. The highest peaks are Dufourspitze, 4,634m (15,203ft), on the Italian border; the Dom, 4,545m (14,911ft); the Matterhorn, 4,478m (14,691ft); and the Weisshorn, 4,506m (14,793ft).
