Refuge l' Espace - Schönried

At the end of an easy 40 minutes long glacier walk, this super cute little restaurant rewards with stunning views and great mountain comfort food. Their bündber barley soup is hot and well seasoned, a rarity in many Swiss restaurants, and the tarte tatin is baked to perfection on a super thin base layer and then served exactly as it should be. As the place is tiny inside, it is likely that one will have to sit outside where it can get quite windy so these foods are absolutely perfect warm-me-ups. It is worth checking beforehand if they are open as it is weather dependent, the lovely owner was quick to respond to reassure that they will indeed be open.

This a great place, well worth the walk from the cable car. It is decorated really nicely and has a terrace with some of the best views you'll find in a restaurant anywhere. We stopped for a drink and a piece of cake and really enjoyed taking in the views below.

This place is a must if you are on the glacier. The views are incredible and the food is good BUT remember it is CASH ONLY! It is a small place with only a few waiting staff so at busy times the service can be very slow. Its still worth the trek over the glacier though.

Stunning locations and breathtaking views. Friendly service, and despite the location, served us quickly efficiently and the hot chocolates were still hot despite it being -10 where we sat outside. Unique and special place.

The refuge of space is worth the detour. at the foot of the devil's keel (all st martin,) at the end of the transfleuron glacier, suspended above derborence and adorned on the side of the devil's massif, the view is breathtaking. Since the arrival of the cable car of the red scex, a little hour walk (still strictly to the marked markings) is taken on the glacier, in a false flat. the platform advances as in the void above the valley of the lizerne. We can't help thinking about the collapse of the cliff that took place in 1714...The hosts are friendly and welcoming. very beautiful terrace with cows skins, deckchairs or tables to eat the lunch (better to book) the inside of the shelter is hut. We ate the dish of the day that was very good and homemade. It lacks vegetables but the difficult delivery explains this defect...The tatin pie is a treat. Potatoes with the tomme fleurette too. the covers are biodegradable and not plastic. the wc, on the outside, are of an irreproachable cleanliness (at least in the low season.) take time to sunbath and enjoy the view is an invaluable pleasure and, if the chance smiles, it is possible to see the couple of barbus gypaetes that has its nest not far from there. you can see the white mountain, the bite teeth, the large muveran, the Bernese alps, the cervin, etc.
