Absolutely delicious restaurant along the hike to Oberblegisee from Braunwald. We had the steak special which came with a delicious side salad and pasta salad. SUPER refreshing food along a pretty tough hike. You can’t beat the views here since it’s in the middle of a hike. Our waiter was very friendly and took the time to explain the food to us as well as take us back into the restaurant to show us her desserts! Of course I had to get the gigantic brownie made with fresh milk and chocolate from the nearby Alp. The source most of their ingredients from the Alp located right down the hill which is super cool - the food is the freshest it can be. We rated this within our top 3 Switzerland restaurants that we tried on our trip. Definitely worth the stop on your hike. You won’t regret it!
This wonderful little restaurant inside a cozy hut is located on the path of a popular hiking route near lake Oberblegi and boasts a sunny terrace with amazing views. The kind hosts welcome every guest with warmth and professional service that is unexpected in such a remote location. The food is very local, with meat and cheese sourced from neighboring businesses. I find that there’s a lot of care that goes into the preparations of some recipes, such as their delicious soups: The potato stew not only contained a fine assortment of seasonable vegetables, but it included fresh oranges and a savory sausage. I’ll be back!
Great place to rest, eat some local food and have a beer. When you are walking between Braunwald and Oberblegilake it’s perfectly located. The owners are very nice and the prices are totally fair.
Simple local cuisine but very delicious, in particular the cheeses. Fabulous location. What you need after a hike uphill.
Nearby the lovely Oberblegisee, this charming »Bergbeiz« offers a wonderful view over the Bächital while you are sitting sourrounded by easy going cows and goats. Master Cheesemaker Albrecht Rhyner-Wüthrich and his sweet wife Lydia took over the management last year, besides organizing the Alp below. They offer an excellently rated homemade Alpkäse and own meat specialties among the usual Alp treats like Gerstensuppe, Sausages and a fantastic Raclette. Besides they have some of the best beers from Glarus and AppenzelI I ever had in Switzerland (I am German, so this is a huge compliment). For a nights stay there is room in the Alphütte 5 mins. down at the Alp (bring a sleeping bag) or for a more romantic approach you can book a cosy mini-chalet for two up on the hill. Nearby Zürich, this place is definetly worth a ride and/or walk, especially since they have a now newly opened Seilbahn going up there from Luchsingen. My review is certainly biased as I worked there last summer and will this one. But as someone that always wanted to live by the sea and never touched butter, you can take it serious if I say that I fell in love with this people, the milk products and the beef and with the slightly bizarre landscape. Check the weather forecast though, it has a very specific microclimate there and surprises with snow in mid august.
Friendly place with nice staff. It is just in the middle of mountains trail so view around is amazing!
