This stylish bergrestaurant, next to the cable-car station of the same name at 2450m, is a real treat. Its unassuming exterior hides a striking 'mountain chic' interior with contemporary wooden furnishings, appealing bar area and – the icing on the cake – bijou terrace with chaises longues to take in coffee and staggering mountain panoramas. Cuisine is contemporary and delicious.
