Dining

Choose to dine in the chalet or at one of the local restaurants typical of the Valais canton.
“If your idea of Swiss food is cheese, chocolate, and potatoes, you’ll be pleasantly surprised in Valais, where cultures collide to bring out the best in European cuisine. Switzerland’s most culturally diverse canton also dishes up the most memorable cuisine and produces some of the country’s most delectable foods.
For as long as people have lived in Valais they have made cheese and even today, melted cheese is the essence of a traditional meal in Valais. They served it with potatoes, pearl onions and gherkins. Today there are many soft cheeses and imitations of raclette cheese, yet the original is still unmatched. The reason is this: Valais is the only place where raclette cheese has been made from unpasteurized raw milk for centuries without alteration. The cheesemakers of Valais produce a total of 2,000 tons of raclette cheese every year.” www.alpenwild.com/valais
