This Swiss Restaurant Is Built Into the Side of a Mountain
This restaurant in Weissbad, Switzerland, is remote, to say the least. Perched on the side of a mountain in the Swiss Alps, it’s at an elevation of about 5,000 feet above ground level. Even if you take a cable car, you’ve got to hike steep terrain at least part of the way. That said, it’s a beautiful journey that takes you through a 40,000-year-old cave and by a chapel carved right into the mountain. And you’re following in the footsteps of hungry hikers who have been trekking to this restaurant for 173 years.

Been there. They've changed the owner several times. There are so many tourists, they just can't keep up. Strange to see them promote the place, 'cause they really don't need to.

In the caves they even found stone age tools and lots of cave bear bones. You can walk thru them higher up the montain, where you find the most beautiful lake ( where i was ice skating as a child)

I love Switzerland. Favorite mountains I've ever visited. I'll put this restaurant on the list for the next trip!
That view is amazing. Just enjoying a nice lunch after a brisk walk through the cave is probably amazing. I’m glad this video found me. Very cool. Good vibes. Thanks!
I was there with my wife as we were living in Switzerland and this place has some of the best food hands down and it’s breathtaking
Stunningly beautiful and thanks for sharing it with us.
Love this. Used to go there once or twice a year when we still lived in Switzerland...

I was just there in June 2019 amazing adventure. It is so beautiful you can't describe it with words.
Truly a great big story. So beautiful.
Nature all around what a view
This is such love. I have been to mountain with some of the best people and I have personal treasures in experiences there. This makes me nostalgic. 😍😍😘😘

Wow they all look so happy i hope im working there too
I love Switzerland so much
Been to Appenzell twice in the past year and this. This restaurant and the surrounding area has to be one of the most beautiful spots in the world.
I live in Switzerland and didn't even know about this, i need to see this in person now!
Wow indeed!
Imagine how this restaurant supply its needs 173 years ago when there's no cable cars or helicopters 🤔
Always wanted to see a place like this
Definitely want to visit this restaurant one day!!
This is a youtube channel at it's finest!
Awesome! I would love to visit.
One of the most beautiful hike I’ve made in my life.
Beautiful
Wondeful place!
so beautiful
Now it’s just really weird to see places you’ve been to being prompted on KZread especially bc they really don’t need to :)) I was there with my grandma and she told me that the owners change quite often bc there are just that many tourists and it’s really stressful bc getting food and basically anything up there is just really difficult Non the less it’s absolutely beautiful and I would highly encourage everyone to visit !:D
Good use of the natural surroundings.
Great work
Wow..beautiful 😍
Amazing😀
That's a good way to digest your food..hiking
That tracked delivery cart thing is cool. The restaurant is pretty spectacular too.
Simply Wow ✌️
What a beautiful place. Wish I could go there someday.

Holy shit, the scenery is absolutely dope!
When nature is left undisturbed 😍
This reminds me a little bit of the tea house hikes you can do in the Rocky Mountains in lake Louise. However for those ones it is a 6+ kilometer hike in and they do not have electricity due to the remote nature of the place.
cool stuff!
Wow.. I want to go there
im proud to be Swiss!
Awsome. =))
Awesome working environment! How I wish my office is up there
What a nice place to be 🥰

Sehr schön 😍 das Appenzeller Land ist beeindruckend😀 Wohne ganz in der Nähe und war schon oft dort 😍 ist eine Reise werd
These ppl have a very wonderful working place. Im sure they are stress free.

Going there soon.
reason #289 to visit switzerland. one of my favorite countries to explore.
Was here in April last year during the lockdown. We hiked all the way there no cable cars. And we were the only tourist there apart from the workers. We sat there and had a ong chat with them then hiked to the top. She was very amazing.
