We had very low expectations for the food quality and rode up for lunch in between ski runs. We’re were very pleasantly surprised. The space is beautiful, the food was excellent, and the views were spectacular! We loved it so much we returned for lunch the next day. It’s pricey but worth the price.

Europe's highest mountain station. The views at the observation deck were beautiful. Also on the way up and down, you get a full view of the massive Matterhorn. There are also several activities you can do at the top, such as visiting the Glacier Palace and chilling at the Cinema Lounge. After all the fun, you can eat at the restaurant, which serves pretty decent food.
