Walliserkanne

Top choice in Valais


Fondues, perfectly crisp wood-fired rösti and game dishes make this cosy address run by the Grichtling family since 1931 a Valaisian highlight. But the real treat is the house speciality – gargantuan meat steaks sizzling on a hot slate, served on a hefty wooden platter with fries or rösti and dipping sauces – and a big paper bib.
