The farmer's toast was absolutely delicious, and the other dishes looked very promising as well. We'd love to come back.

The climb is challenging due to the steepness, but the route itself presents no technical difficulties. We tackled it with very little, if any, snow, and it was very doable; I'm not sure if it would be as doable with snow. It's definitely worth the effort: once you arrive, you'll be rewarded with a splendid landscape and truly unique dishes. A tip for parking: don't stop in front of the fire station, but follow the signs for the mountain hut parking lot.

We ate a truly delicious dish of potatoes, scallop, and fried egg, while my boyfriend ate delicious and delicious Alpine chili meat. The staff were kind and friendly. They even accepted our little dog.
