And just writing about them inspires us! The lac Leman places are relatively new discoveries for us. By contrast, we hope to return to Kandersteg for our seventh time this July. See https://www.doldenhorn-ruedihus.ch/ruedihus/
The cooking here (at the old chalet) is definitely old school, and not exactly light. But if you hike enough during the day, you earn it! The two dining rooms of the chalet are incredible — basically, as they were 250+ years ago. The flooring is rough cut bare wooden planks. Ancient porcelain furnaces in each room. Authentic ancient round blown leaded glass windows. There’s a low ceiling wine and beer bar downstairs, serving fondue, etc. Across the “street” — really, on the other side of the large meadow (take a look on Google maps) — is the WaldHotel Doldenhorn, which also runs the Chalet. You can also dine over there, in its continental dining room. The food over there tries/ aspires (not always totally successfully), and although we dine there sometimes, in this throwback location we tend to prefer the old school dining and the feel of the chalet. — Jake
