A great stop if you are skiing over in Val Tournanche for the day. The restaurant has a simple bar and snack menu downstairs, with lots of seating inside and out. Upstairs you will find an a la carte restaurant with traditional dishes and good service.
A modern mountain hut on the Theodulpass between Switzerland and Italy. The dining room has huge windows looking back over the Cervinia ski area and the Italian side of the Matterhorn. A large fireplace is perfect to warm up on colder days. The menu is simple and basic but good and reasonably priced.
This is an old mountain hut on the boarder with Italy. Upstairs you will find a bar where you can get drinks and delicious sandwiches or cakes. Downstairs is restaurant with simple but tasty Italian food. The tables and chairs are squashed in close but that just adds to the warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Snowflake is the restaurant in the Hotel Principe della Nevi in Cervinia. This smart hotel has a relaxed lunch menu at Snowflake, with great burgers and simple pasta dishes. In the spring they often have a DJ playing outside and the fun atmosphere becomes part restaurant part apres ski.
Lovely restaurant just above Cervinia village, that still has a relaxed and local feel about it. The friendly and warm staff always make you feel welcome. The restaurant offers delicious food, particularly know for it’s food from the grill and it’s traditional polenta dishes. A cosy dining room in for the colder months and a great terrace in Spring make it’s good all winter, just be aware of leaving enough time to make the last lift back to Zermatt.
Great atmosphere, burgers and fun. This buzzy restaurant is perfect if you are looking for an upbeat vibe, easy lunch and a few drinks right under the south face of the Matterhorn. It’s huge red letters spelling LOVE is perfect for your instagram shot too 🙂
A great and well deserved lunch after the fantastic ski all the way to Val Tournenche, their farthest point in the Cervinia ski area. The restaurant is particularly loved by those who enjoy a wonderful south facing terrace in the spring. Real Aostan flavours and a fantastic wine list make this a hit with gourmet lovers too. Longer lift hours later in the season, also gives you plenty of time for your journey back to Zermatt. It’s a long way but well worth the visit.
Bontadini is a lovely Italian restaurant situated at the top of the Fornet chair (the second chair up from Plan Maison towards the Theodulpass). Upstairs you will find a bar and good self service restaurant, which is very often packed and has a fun buzz. Downstairs at the back you find a much smarter restaurant with huge windows, great food and lovely views of the mountains.
Chalet Etoile is a fabulous restaurant found on the side of the slopes as you ski down to Plan Maison, in Italy. The restaurant has been around since 1974 and is known for its delicious dishes and warm atmosphere. A favourite with VIPs and gourmet enthusiasts. The inside seating is perfect on a cold winters day and the terrace comes into it’s own in the Spring.
