self-service style snacks and drinks....basic but very clean and was a gott that for the smaller ones who need the loo! good for a snack and a drink. friendly owner who took time to make travel with us. pity that it is no longer used...a hike from hotel Wetterhorn to pfinstegg via milchbach saves a cable car fair.

What Trystan Kunde doesn't like about Milchbach:
We walked past Chalet Milchbach on 30 July and it was shut. And it didn't look like it was closed because of their rest day. It looks shut long-term so don't rely on it for a stop while walking from the Hotel Wetterhorn to or from Pfiingstegg. And I have to say it looked run down like something from the 'Hansel & Gretel' story! Based on the other review and what I saw it is best avoided even if it does reopen at some... View all feedback.
From grindelwald to milchbach went on a sunny day and hoped to catch a beer at the top than our reward. I think, as deborah c said, the reward was greater than we expected. during the place definitiw past it's best. it's history is one of the rich history. in restaurant milchbach you will find the grandson of the original owner who still operates. Although many may not know in him 's present day it was one of the places to be, as the end of the first cable car in the world that worked until the first world war. while some say it is not up to standard, or perfect Swiss decor may slow down, stop and check where and what they see, notices that chanel, sunshades on sunny days, personal assistants, bally etc. all have their place and with those to get to miclhbach will not be very helpful for them; . once they see an abandoned restaurant you can no longer reach through the glacier melt, sitting alone on a huge rock formation, now where once a busy business was standing. these and many other things you can learn from the owner of the restaurant milchbach if you only need the time to breathe, listen, learn and enjoy the landscape and hospitality that is the Swiss. Stop and take a beer.
From the cable car in pfingstegg we hiked to the milchbach restaurant, but they can go to the Wetterhorn restaurant where they go back to a **** where they see smooth rock walls where the glacier came down earlier. the milk stream...restaurant is old and simple, but friendly and gives them the opportunity to eat for a bite and a drink before they wander. we migrated to the higher gletscher where you had to be very well for this breath. this is nothing for children or people who do not afford to climb vertical ladders or to foot on narrow and over smooth rocks here they must be attached. Unfortunately, this ascent is no longer accessible due to a landslide a few years back.
We walked from Grindelwald to Milchbach and were very thankful this place was there.We were able to use the washroom(free of charge) and also the lady working there gave us a brief history lesson on the area, the cable car and what next trail to take.Again, super thankful this place existed and was open, as the we had been walking 2.5+hours and soon needed a break.
Walked from Grindelwald to Milchbach on a sunny day, and was hoping to catch a beer at the top as our reward. I think as Deborah C stated, the reward was greater than we could have expected. While the place is definitely past it's prime, it's story is one of rich history. At Restaurant Milchbach, you will find the grandson of the the original owner still running the establishment. Though many may not know, in it's heyday it was one of THE places to be, being the ending spot of the first cable car in the world which functioned until World War I. While some may say it is "not up to standard", or "perfect Swiss decor" - possibly slow down, stop and consider where and what you are seeing, noting that Chanel, umbrellas on sunny days, personal assistants, Bally etc all have their place - and using those to get to Miclhbach won't be very helpful to you;). Once there you will see an abandoned restaurant one can no longer reach due to the glacier melt, sitting alone on a huge rock formation now where once stood a bustling business. This and many other facts one can learn from the owner of Restaurant Milchbach - if only you take the time to breathe, listen, learn and enjoy the scenery and hospitality that is Switzerland. Stop and have a beer there.
We hiked to Milchbach Restaurant from the cable car at Pfingstegg, but you can walk up to it from the Wetterhorn restaurant, where you walk back into a ravine where you see smooth cliff faces where the glacier used to come down to. The Milchbach restaurant is old and basic, but friendly and gives you the opportunity to rest for a bite to eat and a drink before you hike on. We hiked on the the higher glacier where one had to be very well kitted out for this breath taking climb. This is nothing for kids or people that are not experienced in climbing vertical ladders or walking on narrow ledges and across smooth rock - here you need to be hooked on. Unfortunately this climb is no longer accessible due to a land slide some years back.
