Fondue Chalet

When the Witches’ Tent in Blatten is bathed in golden light and the scent of cheese on Friday evening, Witches Night Blatten 2027 begins—with a fondue evening that perfectly combines indulgence, tradition, and a festive atmosphere.

We’ll be serving a creamy Valais fondue à discrétion from our partner Walker AG, accompanied by fine wines from the Seewer Winery and refreshing drinks.

Amid steaming caquelons, sparkling lights, and mystical decorations, an atmosphere emerges that can only be found in the Upper Valais—warm, authentic, and simply magical.

Festive tent opens: 7:00 p.m.

On stage, a top-notch lineup will set the mood from the very first minute:

- Schimbrig Power with the finest traditional folk music and singing

- The Royal Bavarian Full-Throttle Orchestra from Munich’s Oktoberfest Click here for tickets to the largest fondue chalet in Valais.
