Group Booking

Just so we’re clear right off the bat, Balmers isn’t taking group bookings anymore.

Why? Because we’re all in on celebrating the individual wanderlust spirit! If you’re aged 18-30 and itching to carve your path through the enchanting Swiss landscapes, you’ve just stumbled upon your dream base camp.

Why the Solo and Small Crew Vibes?

We’ve got our heart set on delivering the true backpacker experience. In our book, hostels are these magical crossroads where solo wanderers and pint-sized posses meet, share tales, and perhaps hatch a plan for an unplanned Alpine escapade. While big groups have their moments, they sometimes eclipse the spontaneous, free-spirited ambiance that’s our jam.

Getting Down to the Deets:

• Travelling Solo? You’re our hero! For the courageous souls journeying alone, know we’ve cultivated a space where you can seamlessly make lifelong buddies.
• All for the Small: If you’re a close-knit troupe of up to 12, hop on in! Just ensure you’re booking through our standard software.
• Middle Ground: On the road with 12-20 of your favorite faces? You won’t get the cold shoulder, but heads up, no special deals or discounts here.
• The Bigger Picture: Got a crowd over 20? Such bookings may mysteriously dissolve into the Swiss mist (yep, they could get canceled).
• Stag & Hen Shenanigans: If your pre-wedding spree is wilder, scouting other spots might be a good idea. Our mission? Make sure every solo traveler and small group feels safe and valued.

Looking for Group-Friendly Spots?

While our rhythm is more solo-and-small-crew-centric, plenty of other hostels in Interlaken are tuning into the group groove. They’d be more than happy to host your merry band!
