Excellent fondue, beautiful view. not willing to find or get, but the effort worth. not a big place, but still good for families or business.
4 adults and 4 kids, all with big smiles after a warm welcome, good service and delicious food. Typical Swiss mountain food with the option of a good walk to work it off afterwards!
Easy, but great food. while we were there, the local farmers sang local borrowers in their dialect.
I went there three times in winter. I love the high up (1 hour snowshoeing as the sun goes down. The menues are typical swiss (Fondue, Raclette, Croute au Fromage), the fun then starts when you go down, ans you can rend (5 CHF) (very)small...glides. DO ABSOLUTELY take headlamps for everyone, good gloves, and a pac pack where you can store absolutely all your belonging. The glide back down is quite fun, but does feel relatively dangerous! The glides could and should be bigger, and of better quality!!
If you want to spend a day in the snow in the middle of nowhere, just drive to le vuipay, a 1-hour climb from les paccots, in their snowboots! the lookout is stunning from above and the fondue, cream macaroni and raclette are...homemade, typical and absolutely delicious! you can sleep. ski, or go down!
