Working Remotly

Managing SeekaHost & ClickDo Digital Agency from Grindelwald’s Mountains: A Digital Nomad’s Dream

Imagine this: I perch at 2,000 meters in Grindelwald, Switzerland, surrounded by the jagged peaks of the Bernese Alps. However the scenery leaves me so captivated that I struggle to focus on any looming deadline. In front of me, the legendary Fünfländerblick unfolds, offering a sweeping view of five countries at once. It’s a powerful reminder that the world is vast. Yet my work as the CEO and Founder of  SeekaHost remains just a click away.

With my laptop open to the SeekaHost dashboard and my smartphone buzzing with real-time updates. I’m successfully managing a global web hosting empire—all from a cozy mountainside café. The Swiss lifestyle? So it’s pure magic—if, of course, you have the means to work, travel, and truly soak in a place like Grindelwald.
Allow me to share my recent adventure, where I managed SeekaHost. From the breathtaking Alps and lived the digital nomad dream—emphasizing that location truly is no longer a limit for digital entrepreneurs.

My Workplace View in Grindelwald

Why Grindelwald? The Ultimate Remote Work Destination

Switzerland is renowned worldwide for its precision. From its luxurious watches to its efficient trains—and Grindelwald stands out as its crown jewel for anyone seeking a perfect blend of nature and connectivity. I arrived here on June 14, 2025, after a quick flight from London Heathrow to Geneva. Then, in just a 2-hour-15-minute drive, I reached this postcard-worthy village nestled beneath the majestic north face of the Eiger.

So, why choose Grindelwald? Because it offers the best of both worlds: jaw-dropping alpine scenery and Wi-Fi powerful enough to keep SeekaHost’s servers humming smoothly. The Swiss lifestyle, characterized by clean air, pristine landscapes, and a culture that values efficiency, naturally encourages you to “work smart and live well.” However, let’s be honest—this paradise does come with a price. A single coffee at a mountain café can cost around 6 CHF (£5), and a night at a luxury hotel isn’t cheap. But if you have the means, trust me, it’s worth every penny.

I checked into the Hotel Belvedere, a charming yet upscale retreat with panoramic views of the Eiger and Wetterhorn. Over the course of three days, my room’s balcony became my mobile office, with the Jungfrau massif serving as an awe-inspiring backdrop. The sunset cast golden hues over the peaks, creating that perfect “work anywhere” moment.
Honestly, it’s the kind of scene that makes you think: “This is exactly why I embraced the digital nomad lifestyle.”

Grindelwald Is Calm and Beautiful


Running SeekaHost & ClickDo from 2,000 Meters

As the CEO of both ClickDo and SeekaHost, my days are filled with a variety of crucial tasks. They include overseeing server performance, strategizing powerful SEO campaigns, and ensuring our clients’ websites—from personal blogs to e-commerce giants—operate seamlessly. Fortunately, SeekaHost’s hosting plans, starting at just £1.99/month, are designed for speed and reliability. This means I can manage everything remotely, even from a Swiss mountain. The secret? A rock-solid platform combined with a portable setup.

All I need is my lightweight laptop and a Swisscom mobile hotspot (costing around 10 CHF per day for unlimited data, or via roaming with my UK SIM). For example, one morning I sat in a Grindelwald café, latte in hand, effortlessly checking server uptime on my phone while the Fünfländerblick provided a stunning backdrop. Thanks to SeekaHost’s intuitive dashboard, I could monitor domains, tweak hosting settings, and respond to support tickets—all without skipping a beat. And my dedicated team—Gowdham, Kasun, and others—manage everything efficiently behind the scenes.

The Connection is Highly Important for People Like Me

Interestingly, Grindelwald’s Wi-Fi is more robust than you might expect. Cafés such as Berggasthaus First and hotels like the Belvedere provide internet speeds of up to 50 Mbps—more than enough for high-quality video calls and website management. One morning, I even conducted a team meeting from the hotel lounge, with the snow-capped peaks reflecting on my laptop screen. Meanwhile, my team in London and India didn’t miss a beat, thanks to SeekaHost’s powerful cloud infrastructure. Hosted on optimized, high-performance servers, it guarantees zero downtime—no matter whether I’m in London or 2,000 meters up amid the mountains.

And that, in essence, is the beauty of our services: whether from a mountain in Switzerland or an office in the city, my business runs smoothly—like Swiss clockwork.

The Jungfraujoch Adventure: Working at the Top of Europe

No trip to Grindelwald is truly complete without visiting Jungfraujoch—the “Top of Europe”—at 3,454 meters. To get there, I took the scenic train ride (around 200 CHF for a round trip) from Grindelwald to the Jungfraujoch station, a marvel of engineering carved into the mountain itself. As I stepped out at the highest railway station in Europe, the view from the Fünfländerblick was absolutely breathtaking. France, Germany, Austria, Italy, and Switzerland stretched out like a giant map, offering a view that’s impossible to forget.

In fact, I couldn’t resist snapping a photo of myself with my laptop open, SeekaHost’s logo visible on the screen, and the stunning Ice Palace’s frozen tunnels behind me. That shot has since become my favorite—radiating the “work anywhere” vibe that every digital nomad dreams of.

All The Way Up No Stop


Places

Although I didn’t stay overnight at the Jungfraujoch Lodge Hotel (which I affectionately call the “cozy alpine ambiance”), staying nearby at the Belvedere made day trips incredibly convenient. I dedicated an hour to work at the Sphinx Observatory café, located at an impressive 3,571 meters. There, I managed SeekaHost’s latest SEO tool rollout—proof that high-altitude work is not only possible but incredibly inspiring. Despite the thin air—close to 0°C—the Wi-Fi connection was strong, and my focus never wavered.

This experience perfectly showcases the Swiss side of life: efficiency meeting awe-inspiring nature. Of course, this adventure isn’t cheap—the train tickets, meals at Jungfraujoch, and private excursions add up. However, for a digital nomad with the right budget, the priceless memories and unmatched views make it all worth it.

The Swiss Lifestyle: Worth the Investment

Let’s be honest—living in Switzerland doesn’t come cheap. A fondue dinner in Grindelwald costs around 30–40 CHF (£25–33), and my stay at the Hotel Belvedere was roughly 250 CHF per night. Brief visits to Geneva and Lausanne also didn’t differ much in price. Yet, the trade-off is clear: Switzerland offers unmatched beauty, safety, and top-tier infrastructure.

The Swiss lifestyle is a dream—for those with the financial freedom to enjoy it. Fortunately, SeekaHost’s affordable hosting plans (available at seekahost.com) make this possible. They help keep your business costs low, so you can invest more in experiences that inspire and energize.

One evening, I worked from a Grindelwald trailhead, phone tethered to my laptop, surrounded by wildflowers and cowbells. That shot—me in hiking boots, SeekaHost dashboard open, mountains in the background—has become my profile header on X. It embodies why I built SeekaHost: to empower entrepreneurs to work from anywhere, whether in a city or amidst stunning nature.

Tips for Digital Nomads in Switzerland: How to Make Grindelwald Your Remote Work Haven 

Want to follow in my footsteps? If you’re looking to transform Grindelwald into your ultimate remote work sanctuary, here are some practical tips to get you started:

Tech Setup: First, pack a lightweight laptop, a reliable mobile hotspot (consider Swisscom or Salt), and a power bank. Since SeekaHost’s dashboard is mobile-friendly, you can efficiently manage your hosting and business operations on the go, no matter where you are.

Work Spots: Next, explore work-friendly locations like Hotel Belvedere’s lounge or Berggasthaus First, both offering excellent Wi-Fi and stunning views. Also, remember to book hotels with free cancellation on platforms like booking.com for maximum flexibility.

Budgeting: To stretch your funds, consider cooking at home—Grindelwald has Co-op supermarkets—or dining at budget-friendly spots like Barry’s, where a meal costs around 20 CHF.

Jungfraujoch: For the adventure seekers, book your train tickets early at jungfrau.ch. And, be sure to dress in layers—temperatures can be quite cold at the top!
