Trauffer adventure world & board hotel

Hofstetten bei Brienz is a somewhat dreamy, beautiful village very close to the turquoise-blue Lake Brienz and at the foot of the most beautiful mountains in Switzerland. This is where it comes from, the iconic wooden cow with the red spots. The original Trauffer cow. Made with love by hand, in the third generation.

It's time for you to visit us and discover and experience so much: Welcome to the Trauffer world of experience and the Bretterhotel. On the Kuhniversum experience tour, you will learn all about the history, tradition and sustainable production of Holzkuh, Barry & Co.

Enjoy homemade snacks in Rosa's Bistro and indulge your taste buds in the à la carte restaurant Alfred's.

Tired? Snuggle up in your cozy bed at the Bretterhotel - some rooms even have a sauna or a slide. Breathe in the fresh mountain air and dream yourself into the next day.

Our hotel is ideally located for your excursions: the Ballenberg Open-Air Museum is right next door, the Brienz Rothorn Railway is just a short ride away, and picturesque walking and hiking trails along Lake Brienz are just waiting to be discovered. We look forward to welcoming you.

Dogs are very welcome here, even in the restaurants. Only in the "Kuhniversum" adventure tour do the four-legged friends have to stay outside. Well-behaved pets can wait in our back office.
