Mountain Restaurants and Huts – Martin’s Recommendations
Hohtschuggen
Great views, delicious raclette, and friendly service; easily accessible from Grächen via various hikes, such as the hike to the lake and from there toward Bärgji and Hohtschuggen
Alpenrösli in Gasenried
Beautiful terrace with a view of the Ried Glacier; regional specialties.
Beautiful hiking trails along the water pipes lead to the Alpenrösli.
Restaurant Junger Alp – Dining with breathtaking views.
The Jungeralp is easily accessible either on foot in just over two hours or by cable car; at the top of the alp, there are also very beautiful loop trails, or you can simply enjoy your time in this small, idyllic hamlet
Restaurant Moosalp
Delicious food with a great view in a beautiful setting with a very pleasant atmosphere. Many varied hikes await you, ranging from easy strolls to longer loop trails and more extensive tours in the Augsbord region.
The Moosalp Restaurant itself has become a bit a victim of its own success; it’s advisable to make a reservation in advance
Restaurant Täschalp
The Täschalp has a unique, high-alpine character–it’s the starting point for many high-alpine tours. You can also walk a section of the beautiful Europaweg trail to Zermatt or simply spend some time next to the church or by the stream. At the Täschalp Restaurant, you’ll be well taken care of.
