Thoroughly Enjoyed the Swiss Chalet

We thoroughly enjoyed the Swiss Charlet restaurant and the Hotel Sonnenalp. Sigi, in particular, provided excellent service, and we were extremely satisfied with the food and his recommendations. The atmosphere was incredibly warm, welcoming, and family-like. Highly recommended.

Authentic Swiss Restaurant

The Swiss Chalet in Vail, CO is a very authentic Swiss restaurant. For our main course, we had the Matterhorn Raclette, which comes with a hearty portion of steak, sausages, and vegetables, along with raclette cheese that you melt and cook at the table. It made the meal fun and interactive, especially while enjoying a glass of wine. It was excellent.
