Muottas Muragl Restaurant

This incredible restaurant is a must for a first-time visitor. Located at an altitude of 2,456 meters (8,057 feet), the restaurant at Muottas Muragl has a glorious terrace for sunny lunches and a Alpine-chic dining room where diners can watch the sun dip into the valley at dinner. The menu features a host of regional specialties, but all prepared with more innovation and finesse than at your regular mountain hut (a list of where ingredients are sourced is found on the back of the menu). There's an excellent wine list but remember that you're at 8,000-plus feet altitude, which may effect some diners. Everyone has to take the funicular up and down the mountain, and the last one returns to the valley at 11pm. Guests who cannot tear themselves away from this special location can, however, book one of the sixteen basic but chic guest rooms and wake in the gorgeous silence, towering above the world, of Muottas Muragl.

Indagare Tip: Small groups can also book the private Villa Lyss, a converted pasture hut that has been turned in a cute, rustic dining room with a fireplace and wood-paneled interiors. It's a very special spot for up to twenty people.
