Sunstar, Alpine, Braunbaer

One of our favourite venues in Wengen has always been the bar in the Sunstar hotel. They regularly have live music, and the staff are really good. Last season the hotel changed hands, and was rebranded as the Alpine hotel, though there were no other discernible changes. Then, at the end of the last winter season, it closed for a major refurbishment. Last night it reopened with a new name – Braunbaer. We went along to take a look. The bar is very nice.

There are video games for the kids.

Apparently there’ll be a regular programme of live music after the Lauberhorn races later this month. It looks very promising.

Val had a lesson at Scheidegg this morning, so I thought I’d go up for a ski. Towards lunchtime a strong wind began to blow, filling the air with spindrift.

It was nice to get back to the calmer weather in the village.
