Dining at a mountain restaurant with a view

In the restaurant of our mountain hotel, you will not only enjoy the fine creations of our cuisine, but also an enchanting view. Through the large panoramic windows or from the sun terrace, you can enjoy a view over the wide plateau and the majestic mountain world that will take your breath away. But be careful, don’t forget to eat… Although we doubt that this view will ever fill you up.

Pleasure for the whole family

At noon, the restaurant in the mountain hotel welcomes you as a self-service restaurant and is therefore ideal for visiting with the whole family. On our menu are classics like Ghackets with Hörnli, bratwurst with fries or Älplermakkaroni. Or how about a break with an Engstligenplättli or coffee and cake?

NEW: Dinner at the mountain restaurant for guests not staying at the hotel

From 18 December to 27 March, the restaurant at the mountain hotel is also open to non-hotel guests on Friday and Saturday evenings. When the sun disappears behind the mountains, the alp reveals its very special charm. So why not combine a winter stroll or a lap on the cross-country ski trail with a delicious dinner at the mountain restaurant?

On these evenings, the cable car runs continuously until 10:00 p.m.

Tip for active guests: Start the evening with a lap on the cross-country ski trail or a winter hike, and then treat yourself to a delicious dinner at the mountain restaurant. Showers are available at the mountain station so you can freshen up before dinner.

Dinner for hotel guests

Once the last day visitors have left the Engstligenalp, hotel guests can look forward to a delicious dinner in the mountain hotel’s restaurant. From 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., we serve our delicious à la carte dishes. We place great emphasis on seasonal and regional ingredients – that’s why our menu features dishes that always include local flowers and herbs. A table is automatically reserved for hotel guests upon booking, unless you’ve already booked your dinner at the fondue igloo. Please let us know before your arrival if you have any food intolerances.
