A little taster so to speak of what you can enjoy on a Ski Zermatt holiday. We’ve had so many compliments on the food served in our catered penthouse chalets this year, that we thought we would share our menus with you.

Don’t expect the usual tired old chalet food of lasagne and beef bourguignon with us. We offer duck, pork belly and Surf n Turf on the menu, home cured salmon, juicy scallops and truffled porcini consommé. Our hosts and chefs already have a wealth of cooking experience and are further trained by us to our high culinary standards, offering you a gourmet experience you won’t forget.

What’s more, we have carefully chosen pairing wines that compliment the menu each night. A selection of local Swiss wines, Italian, classic and surprising French wines perfectly accompany each dish.

THE MENU
We serve a selection of canapés every night, including Beetroot cups with crème fraîche and truffle, Crostini with mascarpone, rocket, beef Carpaccio and parmesan, Salmon skewers with sour cream and spring onion dip. At the end of the meal, retire to the comfy seats by the fire and make the most of the generous cheese board.
