Exceptional range of wines by the glass including really interesting high end options at great prices and affordable everyday good wine. The restaurant effectively is the heart of the hotel with Alessandro, Toni and the team making you feel at home from early morning until late at night nothing is too much to ask and everything comes with a smile. Relaxed conversation when you want it and peace when you don't. There are stunning views from inside and out on the terrace so you can take in the Alpine countryside even if the weather turns. And when the sun beams, the cool mountain air keeps things comfortable.

Grüezi: I approached the Bergsonne with very mixed feelings we had been coming to the very fine hotel and restaurant of Willy Camps and Dorley Stalder Camps for more than 2 decades . They sold it and it re opened a month ago with new owners, new staff, and a total change to the dining. Sicilian cuisine, served cafe style, has replaced the highly rated slow cooking very gourmet , highly creative fine Swiss cooking with an occasional Asian accent) . Willy Camps no longer greets you at the front door, on the terrace, and chats with all the guest throughout the dinners. Dorley is absent from the kitchen she will no longer be coming around after dinner to receive numerous accolades for making dinners that are equivalent to putting on a grand opera. Only Dorley’s perform every is better than a grand opera. The “new” Bergsonne has split the dining from the hotel each managed separately. Frühstück is no longer included with the room. T So. What replaced these unique and wonderful people? Answer: different people, but also unique , and also wonderful. Alessandro, the man who runs the dining room, who seems to have lived in just about every country on earth, with a focus on Sicily and Switzerland, is charming and attentive. If you enjoy trying a variety of swiss and italian wines by the glass he makes it easy Ebullient , In a word, describes the mood of your Swiss Guide. For all of you who have enjoyed visits here return. It is entirely different , yet the core will be very familiar Of course , the best view on the planet has not changed. The best of Suisse and Italia in one place at THe Bergsonne. Who knew The hotel rooms have been spruced up , a bit, with more upscale soaps and such, Bergsonne embroidered towels. And, at last, an easy to remember wifi password Two dozen wines by the glass, several from Italia and Sicilia. Many from Schweiz. All inexpensively priced, especially by Swiss standards. The menu offerings are Sicilian and somewhat limited until the saison begins first week of July. Dorley’s frames that she used to post her menu which changed daily are empty. I rate this four stars , not five for a few reasons . First, they just opened, and there is always room for enhancement with a new operation. Second, the menu is expected to expand when high season arrives soon so I did not get to experience the full range of the chef. Third, the hotel reception operation was very slow to reply to my email inquiries. That, along with an ATM like machine at the front door that apparently might be used for checkin instead of a live person at a front desk was not an improvement. There is nothing like the warm and friendly greeting of coming up the mountain and getting a big hello from Willy Camps, with him showing you around the hotel. An ATM like machine was a shock, and almost knocked off another one or two stars in my rating. Tschüss and Ciao
