Bergrestaurant Alphitta

very good mountain restaurant. the beef burger with delicious pommes frites is highly recommended. the terasse has recently been renewed and enlarged and offers a fantastic view of the Matterhorn.The host tanja and dave are very friendly and very much concerned about the pleasure of their guests. also our dog was welcome and immediately got water.

5 minutes walk from the riffelalp station (2nd of the gornergrat.) the site is spectacular: amazing views of the matterhorn and the whole green valley. the food very well. we ate burger, and egg rosti. price about 30 per head. great option, without a doubt the best to eat on a day of gornergrat (the restaurants of the rest of the seasons are not worth it.)

Whether you walk down from Gornergrat, or train up from Zermatt, make this your lunchtime destination at Riffelalp. Run by Tanja and Dave, their warm hospitality is matched by their excellent food. We chose the appetising daily specials as we sheltered in their quaint, cosy, upstairs room from a sudden, fierce, Alpine storm.Dave, an exuberant Irishman but longtime resident in Zermatt, tours the tables and might just admit to having some homemade limoncello!

What a great restaurant! The location can't be bettered, with striking views of the Matterhorn and other peaks. Sitting at an outside table on a warm day, we enjoyed the best meal of our trip. One person in our party had salad with grilled chicken and the other person had roast vegetables with tofu and potatoes gratin. Both dishes were cooked to perfection and unbelievably scrumptious. Tanja and Dave were superb hosts, providing a warm welcome and efficient service. We are already looking forward to our next visit to Alphitta.

I reviewed in 2016 after spending a wonderful afternoon and promised to return. We did, twice bringing two sets of very good friends for their first experience. While all of the on-mountain restaurants offer excellent food options, I think Alphitta stands out as the most innovative and interesting. Tanya and Dave offer a wonderful and fun atmosphere and continue to make Alphitta one of the best. A one hour hike from the village or accessible via the Gornergratbahn to Riffelalp. Do not miss this one.Richard and Toni LöfflerNewport Beach

A couple of weeks ago we were hiking in the alps, and things hadn't been going well. We ditched the hike and took the tram up to Riffelalp to see the Matterhorn and happened upon this place by accident. It totally changed our day! The view was magnificent, Dave was really nice and friendly, the coffee was good--but best of all was the strudel! Can't say enough about the strudel. Dave then explained how we could hike down to Zermatt and our day was saved. When we talk about that day, we describe it as, before the strudel and after the strudel! This place was a little pricey for us so we didn't order anything else, but I can't say enough about the strudel!

we stayed twice in the alphitta during our holidays. tanja and dave were both very friendly and good hosts. Unfortunately, the selection of the food was not quite on season high for that the restaurant was already open long before others tried. the portions are also appropriate for hungry migrating. the only negative are the prices for it, as said, the portions are at least ok. in fact, it must be said here that the prices move in distort to very high level and in most places the portions are rather micky. the self-made hamburger with fresh pumice frites and the rösti (fresh potatoes) with bratwurst on wobble sauce were very delicious. also on the afternoon at 16:00 o'clock still first-class...

we were in disguised for 4 days on the occasion of the Zermatt Marathon and ate in alphitta on all days. the food was every time for both the children (10 and 7) and for us adult from the finest - varied, delicious and for cervical conditions even cheap!The service was also great, unbeatable but was and is the warmth of the two owners tanja and dave as well as their dog marley, who have always made our visits an incomparable refreshing experience. b. a spaghetti dress without demand a spoon and a shell for the empty muscheln in muschel dishes without demand. this is not a matter of course in many restaurants. For participants in the Zermatt Marathon, the restaurant is a station below the des...

The staff at Alphitta were kind enough to open their wonderful establishment during the off-season to host our wedding reception. Tanja and Dave were incredible hosts who provided food and service beyond our expectations. Alphitta is an easy 10-minute walk from Gornergrat's Riffelalp station. The restaurant's new deck has absolutely one of the best views of the Matterhorn in Zermatt and the food is incredible! While we had a specially prepared menu for our reception and knew what we were getting, our guests couldn't stop complimenting the Alphitta team for the incredible food. This is absolutely high-end dining without the crazy prices - but with the best views in Zermatt in an incredible at...
