This was the view from the balcony of my room at the Hotel Eiger. Even when it was cloudy, the view was incredible. I drove from Zermatt to Muerren on my birthday; when I arrived at the hotel, the manager greeted me and said, "Happy birthday." When he showed me up to my room, there was a bottle of champagne on ice and a hand-written birthday card signed by the staff. He said, "We want you to have a happy birthday. The champagne is compliments of the hotel." The Hotel Eiger was built in 1892 and has been run by the same family ever since. Their attention to detail and quality would convince me to stay at the Eiger again without hesitation.
