Lenkerhof Gourmet Spa Resort

A chic hotel with a magnificent backdrop, first-class service and a cuisine that has received several awards from Gault Millau. Experience nostalgia, with elements of the past cure times of the “bath Lenk”, mixed with the modernity of today’s 5-star Superior hotel.

A varied offer awaits you in this youthfully special atmosphere, where we take care of you in a warm and friendly way. Combined with the Relais & Chateaux idea of “character, friendliness, tranquillity, charm and cuisine”, the result is a warm ambience in which everyone, from large family to individual traveller, feels at home and welcome.

The tradition-laden history of the Lenkerhof began with a bathhouse over 350 years ago. The eventful past was captivatingly implemented in today’s interior design of the “7sources beauty & spa” wellness area, creating one of Switzerland’s most impressive wellness landscapes on 2000 m2.

Sportive or fashionable? Both. We look forward to welcoming you in our restaurants Spettacolo and Oh de Vie with fashionable, casual clothes. Gentlemen are kindly requested to wear long trousers.

Restaurant Spettacolo
The highlight of our restaurants. In the restaurant Spettacolo you will be offered a daily changing selection of 6 out of 15 dishes. In the artfully elaborated dishes, which are freshly prepared and presented to you daily by head chef Stefan Lünse and his team, you will find mainly local and Swiss products.

The so-called icing on the cake is our cheese buffet with over 30 cheese specialities. Gault Millau awards 17 points for this restaurant concept. The winter garden as part of the restaurant Spettacolo offers the best view of our impressive mountain panorama.

Special wishes such as vegan dishes, food intolerances etc. will be taken into account within the scope of our possibilities, the creations of our chef will inspire you. Our varied and balanced wine list offers the right bottle for every taste, giving your culinary experience a special touch.

Cheese buffet
The cheese buffet at the Spettacolo Restaurant is a dream come true for cheese lovers! From raw milk cheese to pasteurised and thermised varieties, everything is included.

Lenker Stube
Our Lenker Stube, part of the restaurant Spettacolo, is kept in a rustic style with lots of daylight and is perfectly suited for private occasions and celebrations

Restaurant Oh de Vie
The Italian-French Riviera is the theme in our restaurant “Oh de Vie”. Whether lunch or dinner, our restaurant team will spoil you in their very own way at both times of the day. Candle light, a relaxed atmosphere, quiet and dignified service.

Our à la carte selection of Italian-French cuisine is ideal for a romantic evening. Particularly tasty: our dishes for two, presented and served at the table. Whether à la carte or a 3 course menu, you decide according to your own taste.

Terrace
Fresh mountain air, fine delicacies and a wonderful panorama can be found on our terrace. At lunchtime we will be happy to serve you selected dishes from our Italian-French “Oh de Vie” cuisine. Not hungry? Then simply enjoy the sun and the “dolce far niente”.

Mountain Restaurant Bühlberg
Stylish, modern, chic – and yet still rustic and down-to-earth – is what happens on the Bühlberg. Hikers and walkers, cyclists and mountain bikers, skiers and snowboarders are catered for on “Lenk’s most beautiful sun terrace” at 1,664 metres above sea level. And all the children who can let off steam on the huge playground right in front of the door.

In summer and winter, the restaurant serves authentic Swiss dishes with a modern touch, the best cheese and milk straight from the mountain pasture. And of course the classics of a mountain restaurant, because those who tackle the one- to one-and-a-half hour route on foot or by mountain bike often just fancy a good portion of Rösti.

But it’s not only athletes who can be happy that the Lenkerhof manages the Bühlberg. Because there are many ways up the mountain: a large parking lot and a regular bus also enable parents or grandparents with prams, people in wheelchairs or simply those who don’t feel like the tiresome uphill tour to take the comfortable path to the top. And from there the view over Wildstrubel, Wildhorn and the Plaine Morte is truly breathtaking.

Tubbo-Lounge
Enjoy the beautiful view of the Wildstrubel in our heated Tubbo lounge or the starry sky in the evening. At lunchtime we serve dishes from the Oh de Vie menu or a cheese fondue, in the evening you can enjoy “Stefan’s gourmet fondue”.

Bar & Lounge
The bar & lounge is our heart and living room. Daily from 10.30 am we are ready for you to enjoy, relax, make contacts or simply to review the day.

The perfect drink at the right moment. Classic cocktails, long drinks, selected wines or the finest teas and coffee. Enjoy our large selection of international spirits and fine brandies. A nice cigar to go with it? In our Davidoff Cigar Lounge we have a wide assortment of different formats, for every taste and every occasion, ready for you.

Davidoff Cigar Lounge
As Mark Twain already said, “If I cannot smoke in heaven, I will not go”. Our Cigar Lounge is the ideal place of retreat for a good cigar moment. Selected varieties to enjoy: mild from the Dominican Republic or strong from Cuba. Our cigar menu and the expert advice of our staff will certainly help you to find the right one. Let yourself go – you deserve it.

Wine Cellar
Classics, new discoveries and popular bottles. In our wine cellar you will not simply find fermented grape juice. This is where your taste experience begins with interesting and exciting presentations on the latest topics relating to wine.

Lenkerhof Vinotheque
Here you will find all our wines that we store in the wine cellar. Would you like to take home a few bottles of a new discovery? With pleasure! A large part of the wines and fine spirits can be purchased at our kiosk. We will also gladly send you the wines if you do not want to take them directly with you.

7sources Beauty & Spa
The name 7sources does not come from by chance: The 7 sources, called “seven wells”, form the origin of the Simme. They originate from a mountain meadow above the Simmen Falls directly on the Wildstrubel massif.

On its way through a unique landscape all the way to Lake Thun, the Simme releases its energy fluently into the surrounding area. We would like to pass this energy on to you! Water, the source of all life, encourages you to linger, relax and think!

Betelberg
Lenk’s local mountain impresses with wide and open pistes that invite for carving. The gently descending slope from Leiterli to Stoos is a favourite with beginners. Families also feel particularly at home here, as the Swiss Snow Kids Village is waiting for the little ones at the Stoss.

For those who like it more sportive, the 7km long Tschuggenpiste or the Speed-Strecke Hasler are the best bet. And if you’re looking for real thrills, you should visit the Audi Skicross Gold Park at the Hasler ski lift. The varied park is used, among other things, for European Cup races and is open to the public.

Metsch / Bühlberg
The heart of the Adelboden-Lenk ski region can be reached with the 10-seater Stand-Xpress gondola lift. In only 10 minutes you float from the bottom of the valley to 2100m above sea level. Freestylers can look forward to the Gran Masta Park at Hahnenmoos.

Children
In Lenk even our youngest guests will find numerous opportunities to let off steam indoors and outdoors.

As a bad weather alternative we suggest the BoulderSchüür, where the kids can make their first climbing attempts on a 270 m2 wall.

In summer, the mobile pump track is another way to power up the little ones, as is the high ropes park in Zweisimmen. Fun for the entire family is guaranteed with a ride on a mountain cart from the Metsch or a scooter bike on the Betelberg.
