The Mountain Restaurant with a View

While you’re sitting in the mountain hotel’s restaurant, you can do more than just fill your belly: At the same time, you can gaze out the large panoramic windows or enjoy the view from the sun terrace and let your eyes wander across the plateau—though we doubt this view will ever truly be enough.

Pleasure for the whole family

At lunchtime, the restaurant at the mountain hotel operates as a self-service restaurant, making it ideal for a visit with the whole family. Our menu features hearty dishes such as rösti, bratwurst with fries, or Älplermakkaroni. Or how about taking a break and enjoying an Engstligenplättli or an ice cream sundae on our sun terrace?
