A world of good taste

Culinary regions –

The taste of authenticity.

The flavours and sights of the Valais surpass mere eating and drinking to include the residents’ joie de vivre that informs their exceptional gastronomic inventiveness and the time-honoured traditions of Switzerland’s largest winemaking canton.

Top wines and gastronomic traditions.

From the Rhone glacier down to Lake Geneva, from small villages on steep mountainsides to Sion, the historic capital of the canton at the foot of the rocky hills of Tourbillon and Valeria, a gastronomic journey through the Valais has unlimited diversity.

Come up – slow down

Culinary regions –

The good things in life.

Lush meadows, fresh air, sunny skies: the alpine landscape and mild climate in Saanenland provide the key ingredients. The rest is up to the chefs. Gstaad is, quite simply, gastronomic heaven.

Gstaad – the pinnacle of gastronomic perfection.

Are fine food and wine among the most important things in life for you? Then you should experience the gastronomic riches that Gstaad has to offer, which are, quite simply, unparalleled anywhere in the Alps. More than 100 restaurants are ready to charm guests with their creativity and love of detail, from awardwinning gourmet restaurants to cosy traditional mountain inns. It’s no coincidence that the renowned GaultMillau gourmet guide regularly hails Gstaad as the very height of gastronomic excellence.

Gastronomic flights of fancy

Culinary regions –

Riches of a proud region.

Food lovers looking for authentic specialities will be in their element here. From rustic, down-toearth country inns to the most sophisticated gourmet restaurants, the menus reveal a tremendous pride in regional cuisine.

Exceptional variety in a compact area.

Hardly any other area is as rich in unique local products as the Fribourg Region. Home of world-famous Gruyère cheese (Le Gruyère AOC) and its creamy brother Vacherin Fribourgeois (paired in equal parts for classic fondue “moitié-moitié”), the Fribourg Region also offers fine desserts, fish freshly caught in local lakes, and wines made from the sun-drenched vines. These treats can be enjoyed just as much in the rustic setting of a simple alpine inn as in one of the 28 restaurants in the region that are listed in the GaultMillau guide.

City between lake and vineyards

Culinary regions –

The gastronomic capital of Switzerland.

Geneva is a delight at any time of year. The city has great charm as well as a remarkable number of good restaurants. Food lovers are in good hands here, whether at a luxury restaurant, a countrystyle inn, in the Old Town, or on board a paddle steamer from the Belle Époque.

Excitingly new and reassuringly traditional.

Geneva is recognized as a world-class gastronomic centre. Seven top restaurants in the city and in the surrounding canton of Geneva were awarded one or two stars in the celebrated Michelin guide 2010 and received up to 19 points in the Gault-Millau guide.
