Rustic-chic mountain restaurant with Matterhorn views & alpine fare
"Perched right beside the slopes, this mountain restaurant pairs hearty alpine dishes with knockout Matterhorn views—exactly the long-lunch fantasy you come to Zermatt for." - Lindsay Lambert
"This chalet perched at 2 100m above sea level right by a ski slope boasts an incredible view of the Matterhorn – unsurprisingly, tables on the terrace are in great demand! Inside, the abundance of wood and attractive decor spread a rustic warmth, and the service team is attentive and charming. The traditional cuisine has a regional twist, and features delicious creations such as mountain goat cheese ravioli with thyme and nut butter, caramelised Valais pear and dried pear purée, or "Vrony's organic platter” of dried meats, Alpine cheese and house-made sausage. The restaurant can be reached on foot in around 20min from Sunnegga funicular station, passing through the picturesque little village of Findeln." - Michelin Inspector
"A rustic-chic mountain restaurant where a solo lunch reservation doubles as a prime ski-break with one of the best views of the iconic peak; it’s praised for both its setting and its relaxed, high-quality alpine fare." - Stacey Lastoe Stacey Lastoe Stacey Lastoe is an Emmy Award-winning editor and journalist who covers travel, food and drink, wellness, and more.

"The charming, car-free town of Zermatt... Our first runs of the day had been mapped out so that we’d be schussing down Slope 6 just before noon, guaranteeing a prompt arrival for our lunch reservation on the sun-soaked terrace of Chez Vrony." - Jen Murphy
"Named among the best mountain restaurants in the world by The Telegraph , Chez Vrony sits on Rothorn Mountain, a short ski down from the Sunnegga Express in the hamlet of Findeln. Housed in a rustic-chic Swiss chalet, it’s been in operation for 100 years and continues to be extremely popular. Lunch reservations are a must; request a seat on the deck for Matterhorn views, then start with the charcuterie plate, which features house-cured speck, bresaola, salami, ham, cheese, and a scoop of homemade rosti. From there, move on to the burger—Chef Vrony’s family raises its own beef, hand-packs burger patties, and uses perfectly seeded buns slathered with coleslaw and a secret sauce, making this a must-order even if it is quintessentially American."
