After arriving in Kandersteg, we settled into our rented apartment at the Victoria Alpine Hotel — a spot we’d stayed at on a previous visit and were more than happy to return to. Just like last time, everything was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully arranged. One of the biggest perks is how dog-friendly it is. The apartment has a door window that opens directly onto a grassy meadow, which meant we could step right outside for quick walks or let our dog stretch out in the sun — no stairs, no fuss.
