Fondue Cheese, white
wine, garlic and cornflour are
the key ingredients of this
typical Swiss dish. The melted
cheese is kept hot over a table-
top burner, and you dip cubes
of bread into it. Watch out,
though: if your bread cube falls off into the melted
cheese, you have to buy everyone a drink.

41The caring
handyman
From another era: above the turquoise waters of Lake Brienz,
the Grandhotel Giessbach exudes a sense of history.Ueli Zurbuchen: “I have more faith in
my screwdriver than I do in mysticism.
But this truly is something special.”
Ueli Zurbuchen is the Grandhotel Giessbach’s jack
of all trades: he repairs anything that is broken,
he looks after the expansive nature park and water-
fall, and he makes sure that the hotel never loses
its magic.
Text: Matthias Mächler Photos: Markus Bühler
43220,000 square metres of forested nature park with peaceful hiking paths: once
a week, Ueli Zurbuchen walks along all the official trails and checks the spring
catchment, one of his “magical spots” on the Giessbach estate.
For one century, the
Grandhotel was the place to
stay for the high society.
By 1979, it looked ready
to shut its doors forever. But
famous Swiss environmen-
talist Franz Weber rescued Europe’s oldest funicular railway:
it in 1984, avoiding red funicular wagons, each with
speculation by distributing their own driver, bring passengers
up to the hotel from its private pier
ownership among on Lake Brienz.
8,000 shareholders.
44 Inspiring Meeting Hotels. The caring handyman.Ueli Zurbuchen fixes loose
towel racks, replaces broken
keys and installs new shelves
in the historical conservatory,
ensuring that the Grandhotel
Giessbach is always in perfect
condition.
The Giessbach Falls are 400 metres in
height and drop in 14 stages. Shepherds
are said to have gathered there in ancient
times to celebrate solar and lunar festivals.
In 1873, a family of hoteliers from
Zurich, the Hausers, ordered the construc-
tion of a Swiss chalet-style building.
