Just Fondue It, Already

What could be more Swiss than the Matterhorn? What is more Swiss than fondue?!

Put those two things together and you get the Swiss Food Festival! Inspired by a cheeselover's dream, and considering the events in Gstaad, Lucerne, and St. Moritz, the idea was born. Inspired by the collaboration and the motivation to enjoy the summer in the mountains, the Swiss Food Festival is becoming a very popular weekend on the Zermatt event calendar.


If you are thinking about heading to Switzerland this summer for your getaway (and living in Tennessee, being in the mountains during the sweltering summer heat sounds just about perfect), this is a great weekend to schedule around.


Friday, 12th August 2016 - An exclusive view behind the scenes in star kitchens.

Divided into smaller groups, you will be taken to the hotels Mont Cervin Palace and Grand Hotel Zermatterhof. After a brief introduction the real fun starts, as you discover the variety of offerings – behind the scenes and in the dining room. After about two hours you will switch to the kitchen of the other 5-star hotel. At 17 stations, you will see seasonal and regional delicacies prepared by the masters before your eyes – and then served to you with superb Valais wines!THE "Kitchen-Party" will complete your night.

Saturday, 13th August 2016 - Public event at Kirchplatz.

The day is yours: Enjoy an outing into the majestic mountain world or stroll along the “Fifth Avenue of Switzerland” and delight your senses with the regional products offered at the food stands. Highlight is the public event. Learn about, experience and enjoy the delicacies produced life and fresh.

Sunday, 14th August 2016 - Breakfast with a breathtaking mountain panorama.

In Zermatt, at the valley station to the Matterhorn glacier paradise, you mix your own breakfast drink and board the gondola where your breakfast table is set. During your ride with the Matterhorn-Express you savour a hearty breakfast, enchanted by the breathtaking panorama around the Matterhorn. At the stations Furi, Schwarzsee, and Trockener Steg additional specialities are served. A complete and unforgettable breakfast experience.

The Swiss Food Festival presents: Gondola fondue.

As the last sunbeams of the day light up the mountain peaks around Zermatt, you will be gliding past the Matterhorn, relaxing in a cable car gondola. Enjoy a homely cheese fondue, accompanied by a refreshing drop of Valais wine. This traditional main course is framed by a choice of first courses as well as various desserts and a local schnapps. The gondolas are prepared for 4 people. You are only two? You are welcome to share the gondola with another couple.

Then you can hang with this cool lady!
