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 &#8211; Braunbaer. We went along to take a look. The bar is very nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0334-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1823\" src=\"https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0334-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13764\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0334-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0334-300x214.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0334-1024x729.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0334-768x547.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0334-1536x1094.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0334-2048x1458.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0334-421x300.jpeg 421w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are video games for the kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0336-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1799\" src=\"https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0336-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13763\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0336-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0336-300x211.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0336-1024x719.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0336-768x540.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0336-1536x1079.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0336-2048x1439.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_0336-427x300.jpeg 427w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apparently there&#8217;ll be a regular programme of live music after the Lauberhorn races later this month.
