This is literally an Igloo village that gets built each winter. You can even stay the night here and sleep on sheepskin rugs. If you are popping by during the day you will find it great for quick drink and snack. The menu is limited to a cheese fondue if you want something more substantial to eat. In the spring they often have great music playing and the vibe is very chilled, lounging in deck chairs while you soak up the mountain views in the sunshine.
