The best campsite is Mettlen at Gohl, 2km north of Langnau, a humble place with tidy facilities. The hostel in Langnau has dorms at Fr.14 per person excluding breakfast, while the Berghotels on the summits of the Napf , closed Mon in winter and the Marbachegg have dorm places for Fr.30–35.
Otherwise, every small town has its choice of small-scale country inns which double as hotel and restaurant, virtually all of which, big and small, use farm-fresh produce and ingredients brought straight into the kitchen from that morning's market – bad Emmentaler cooking is a contradiction in terms.
Affoltern, for instance, has the impressive Sonne, with a few pleasantly renovated rooms above a good local restaurant; while the Hirschen, a huge inn in typical Emmentaler style, dominates the centre of Langnau. Kemmeriboden rejoices in the wonderful Kemmeriboden-Bad hotel with comfortable rooms, dorm places (a superb Ämmitaler RuschtigMenü and simple home-made toppings.
