About Us<\/h1>\n

The history of Valley Hostel<\/h2>\n

Martha and Alfred Abegglen have always enjoyed hosting guests. Through vacation properties, they took care of many international guests over the years. Ultimately, Valley Hostel Lauterbrunnen arose from the dream to operate a B+B. <\/span><\/p>\n

On the 27th of December 1997, the first guests were welcomed to Valley Hostel Lauterbrunnen and Martha’s dream became a reality. At that time, Valley Hostel Lauterbrunnen consisted of one chalet with 53 beds.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the meantime, it has expanded to encompass three chalets with a total of 92 beds and 26 rooms.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2018, the reins were passed on to the second generation. The brother and sister team of Stefan and Fr\u00e4nzi took over operations from their parents.<\/span><\/p>\n

Either the first, second or third generation of the Abegglen family are passionate hosts. Over the years, Valley Hostel Lauterbrunnen welcomed many repeat guests annually, including numerous international guests. Great friendships have developed this way, and these are still strong today.<\/span><\/p>\n

After more tha 20 years in the Valley Hostel, Stefan changed his career and left the hostel. In his place Michal Szuplewski now welcomes our guests as host at the Valley Hostel.<\/span><\/p>\n

The song of the spirits over the waters – the Staubbach waterfall that plunges 300 meters deep into the Lauterbrunnen valley with a misty spray was what inspired Goethe for his poem Song of the Spirits. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe visited the Lauterbrunnen valley in 1779 and made it famous with his poem.<\/h3>\n

Song of the Spirits over the Waters<\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n
The soul of man is like water:
it comes from heaven,
to heaven it rises,
and back down to earth it must return,
forever changing.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When high from the
sheer rock wall the pure stream flows,
it lovingly envelops the smooth rock in billowing clouds,
and gently received, flows
softly murmuring
into the deep.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When cliffs project into its fall,
it foams displeased, successively into the abyss.
In a flat stream bed, it meanders through the grassy vale,
and all the stars feast on their likeness in the glassy lake.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Wind is the wave’s handsome suitor;
wind stirs up foaming billows from the depths.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Soul of man,
how you are like the water!
Fate of man,
how you are like the wind!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe about the Staubbach waterfall<\/em><\/div>\n
