A unique experience in a unique location, both for my wife (non-runner) and myself (a runner). All our needs were catered for and activities well organized. Rooms are spacious and have all the necessities. Note: hardly any mosquitoes at this high altitude:-)

My second time in Iten and I can only recommend the Swiss Side, run by the very Swiss Charlie. A quiet and comfortable place where the Kenyan food is divine and the welcome warm. You can rent mountain bikes and ride the Kenyan hills on the red dirt, it's just beyond great. The masseur will relax your muscles and the cryo available will soothe any inflammation. Swiss quality. A wonderful experience.

We had a really great stay at the Swiss Side in July 2023. The food was fantastic - especially the porridge and pancakes. The rooms are spacious, clean and well decorated/furnished. Any requests we had were always dealt with promptly. There are also great views down to Iten town as well as table tennis, a hammock, cryotherapy and a sauna. Highly recommended

I was supposed to stay 2 weeks, and ended up staying 2 months. The facilities are amonf the most comfortable in Iten, up to Swiss standards, with evrryhting you might need, despite being in Africa. The food and the people working there are simply amazing, really being there for you, and accomodating to anything you might need. Differently from many camps, the swiss side is an excellent location, quiet enough, but close enough to centre and all amenities. Safe and secure. The food is abundant and delicious, Karen's chapati and Chai is the best in whole of Kenya. Thanks Charlie, Cinthia, Karen, Collins and Pascalin for making thoa stay incredible. We shall be back soon.

Its a outstanding experience to stay at the swiss site next door to wold class athletes and feel thi spirith as hobby jogger like me. The swiss site is perfectly equipped, clean and friendly an helpful staff make sure you feel confortable. As swiss citicen I appriciate an felt like home here.

We rented two mountain bikes, they were in good condition, we could change them after we noticed one was not the right size and the lady in the shop was really nice and helpful! If you need a bike in Iten, this is your place!

It was my first time in Kenya, in Iten, but certainly not my last. Staying and living at The Swiss Side for 6 weeks, this place has everything a runner could need. A professional attitude, very friendly staff, quality food, a wide choice of programmes and an excellent environment help you to really concentrate on running. Whether you are a professional or amateur runner, this is an experience not to be missed. Thank you for everything, I look forward to returning to this wonderful place as soon as possible.

Very nice place to stay in Iten. The rooms are good and there are a field with green grass very nice to stay or doing some workout exercises. The environment is very nice. The food is only thing could be better.
