Showing Sunnegga 1-10 of 12

Tufternalp

One of the best locations for a restaurant anywhere in the Alps. Situated beside the Tuftern piste (9) and with a view that could be soaked up for hours, this is a good stop after skiing from Blauherd or the Kumme piste from Rothorn.

Unfortunately, the reputation of the gentlemen running the Tufternalp is one of uncaring aloofness combined with aggressive protection of their property should they think for a moment you might not be about to purchase refreshments. This combined with an uninspiring menu of local cheese and meat make it low down the list of lunch spots.

Blue Lounge

One of the largest terraces in the area, and they made it big for good reason. Fantastic Matterhorn views and sunshine until the slopes close. Although it lacks traditional rustic charm, it is a perfect spot for a slopeside break.


The menu of paninis, burgers etc is simple but good and usually food appears pretty quickly. A great place to eat if you’re in a hurry.

Buffet Bar Sunnegga

This is a large self service restaurant. The location is super convenient (right at the top of the Sunnegga Express lift and on the side of the piste) and makes a great coffee stop or place to meet non skiers. The buffet style means you can get your lunch quick if you want to minimise time off the slopes.
While the food is good, it’s not really comparable to the meals you find in the mountain restaurants, and the prices are not that much cheaper either.

Restaurant Chalet Ried

This restaurant is on one of the home runs and is not a million miles from town. This means it has a fantastic terrace overlooking the village and is a great spot to stop and soak up the last rays of the sun before it drops behind the Matterhorn on the home run.

The menu is mainly traditional fare but of a good standard and, while the owner can be a little brash and Basil Faulty like, the staff are generally very friendly.

Enzian

If you are looking for local, traditional and relaxed then Enzian is for you. Simple local dishes without fuss, and gorgeous mountain views.

Adler Hitta

One of the famous Findeln restaurants. Once you get past the famously gruff owner, you find yourself on a superb, large terrace with fabulous views. The main restaurant was renovated in recent years and has a more modern feel than rustic charm. The menu follows suit with a contemporary take on the traditional Swiss classic dishes. The speciality here is a whole chicken roasted over an open fire on the terrace. It’s not on the menu but is a perennial ‘dish of the day’.

Adlerhitta is host to numerous party events through the winter. Check their schedule for the Brazilian Samba party or end of season pond skim.

Findlerhof

This is a gem. The 100m wander down the path from the piste is worth the effort and gives the feeling of being in amongst the old farm buildings. The terrace is one of the best in Zermatt as it’s completely south facing and has perfect Matterhorn views. Inside the rustic feel gives the Findlerhof an ambiance that is unmatched in Zermatt.

Franz and Heidi have run this for decades but have recently handed the reigns to their equally talented son, Franki. The service is top notch.
The food is an elegant take on traditional dishes. From the mountain quiche to the grilled meats, they’re packed with flavour to match the surroundings.

Definitely one for the ‘must eat here’ list.

Fluhalp

The location of this restaurant alone make it a special place to visit. Whether you ski red run 19 or walk the 35 minutes from Blauherd, you find yourself quite a distance from any of the lift infrastructure. In fact, the building was originally constructed as a base for climbers to stay before they embarked on an ascent of the 4000m peaks to the east.

Fluhalp has one of the largest terraces in the resort and the mountain views alone make it a worthwhile lunch stop.
But the large menu is packed with a combination of local specialities and more creative dishes that will make you want to return again and again.
From the home made rosti dishes to the ‘Testa Rossa Noodles’ , everything is created with care and attention to detail.

Rothorn

The highest restaurant in the Sunnegga area at 3100m. The terrace has wide ranging views but weather needs to be very good to comfortable sit outside at this altitude. Easy access from the lifts makes this a great spot for skiers and non skiers to meet for lunch.

The menu is Italian and their speciality pizzas are very good indeed.

Cervo

Situated at the bottom of the Sunnegga home run, Cervo’s location has a couple of big pluses. Firstly, it’s perfect for meeting non skiers for lunch and secondly, it’s a perfect place to get involved in some après ski.

At lunchtime, the Madre Nostre and Bazaar restaurants offer high end food in very trendy surroundings. Despite the menus here being dominated by exotic combinations, the Cervo burger and truffle fries still has legendary status in town.

From 4pm, the terrace sees a range of bands, musicians and dj’s to entertain while you enjoy a drink in the sun or really get the party started.

Overall a great place to hang out and enjoy the vibes.
