Location

The central location of the Derby hotel, right in the centre of the village and at the end of the Bernese Oberland (BOB) narrow-gauge railway, is a further advantage. The Derby offers an ideal connection to the rail network, which also includes the famous Jungfrau railway. The railway station is impressive to behold, with its calm, eco-friendly operation. The small, narrow-gauge trains arrive almost noiselessly in the station and therefore add to the harmonious atmosphere.
