Welcome to Giessbach

Work where nature, history and hospitality meet

Giessbach is a haven of tranquillity – and a place full of stories.
Set in a 22-hectare nature park, at the foot of the majestic Giessbach Falls, with unrivalled views of Lake Brienz, you will find your future workplace: the Grandhotel Giessbach.

Here, we combine genuine hospitality with a sustainable, forward-looking working environment. Joining us means putting a shared philosophy into practice every day: achieving great things together, taking responsibility and bringing passion to everything we do.

A workplace with character and heart

During the high season, around 100 dedicated team members look after our guests’ well-being. Our historic Grandhotel offers 75 charming rooms and suites, along with a varied selection of outstanding dining experiences:

Parkrestaurant “Les Cascades”: 140 seats.
Restaurant “ELISA Bistro & Terrasse”, awarded 14 Gault&Millau points and a Michelin Green Star: 40 seats indoors and 40 on the terrace.
"Kehrli Terrace" Restaurant: 150 seats, open in summer.

Our facilities also include spacious meeting and conference rooms for up to 100 people, banqueting rooms for events with up to 200 guests, and our elegant hotel bar, with live piano music every day. Our own events, including the GIESSBACH SESSIONS, our balls and our cultural programme, are among the highlights of life at Giessbach.

Sustainability in everyday practice

Respect for people, animals and nature guides everything we do. Our passion for quality and commitment to sustainability are reflected in the produce from our own kitchen garden, which inspires our chefs’ creativity. We nurture thoughtful, respectful relationships within our team and with the exceptional natural surroundings we are part of.

Join the Giessbach family

Giessbach is much more than a workplace: it is a place to recharge, full of positive energy, with an open working atmosphere, a flat hierarchy and a transparent company culture. A place that inspires, brings people together and sparks enthusiasm.

Experience the magic of Giessbach – and help us bring it to life.
We look forward to welcoming you to our Giessbach family.
