Ride the Sunnegga Express funicular to 2288m, then ski down or summer-hike 15 minutes to Zermatt’s tastiest slope-side address in the Findeln hamlet. Delicious dried meats, homemade cheese and sausage come from Vrony's own cows, grazing away the summer on the high Alpine pastures (2100m) surrounding it, and the Vrony burger is legendary. Advance reservations essential in winter.
