Delights in the Matterhorn Paradise

Culinary highlights in the Zermatt mountains

Zermatt is a paradise for hiking, skiing and biking, but also for guests keen to savour the region’s very own cuisine. Along with all the sporting activities it offers, Zermatt is a centre of culinary excellence. Visitors come specially to the Valais Alps to scale the peaks of pleasure – and best of all, the area’s many sun terraces all guarantee views of Zermatt’s Alpine scenery and the most-photographed mountain in the world – the Matterhorn. Your enjoyment is the number one priority here in the mountain restaurants.

Scale the culinary heights! Treat yourself to a three-course meal at sundown in Europe’s highest restaurant. Or eat your way through 41 Gault Millau points in a single day! Watch as the first rays of sun light up the Matterhorn at dawn and see it reflected in the lake, then go on to enjoy breakfast at an altitude of 2606 m.  

The many sun terraces all guarantee views of Zermatt’s Alpine scenery and the most-photographed mountain in the world – the Matterhorn. 

It’s all possible thanks to Zermatt Bergbahnen. The culinary experience around the Matterhorn is a peak of perfection for every food lover.

Later, stop at a cosy restaurant for a hearty breakfast. A dream becomes reality – thanks to Zermatt Bergbahnen!
