Tea Room Zurschmitten - Riederalp

We had lunch here last Thursday and enjoyed good food and friendly service in this family-run restaurant. From its terrace you have a beautiful panoramic view of the valley and many mountains. The goulash soup is very beautiful. The tuna salad was also delicious.

Enjoyed a little rest sipping tea with a pastry. Went in the afternoon and just watched the people and the aroma of the room. Take a break and enjoy.

Right next to the cable car station on Riederalp you will find the only bakery of the place Zurschmitten which has a coffee shop attached to it. A warm and cosy place to get breakfast (their gipfeli are pretty good), small lunches or if you have a sweet tooth coffee and pastry in the afternoon. There is usually a choice of fruit pies as well as their standard apple pie with hot vanilla sauce. We found the latter a little disappoining, though, as the vanilla sauce was obviously not home made and the cake not very fresh. Service is friendly and the view on the mountains is unbeatable.

This tea room was a short walk from the cable car terminal in Riederalp. It had its own bakery. I went in to have tea after hiking. I sat outside on the deck, facing the alps....so beautiful and relaxing! I highly recommend it!

That was the second time we've been coming to this restaurant last year. After a long walk in the village we went back to the cable car station to have a light lunch here. We liked the cakes here because it had its own bakery. At the same time, we could have a nice view over the valley and the surrounding area. Just so relaxed.
