Tufternalp Restaurant - Zermatt

If you compare this place with other mountain restaurants such as @Paradise or the restaurant in Blatten, please not. Imagine the right expectations to visit this place, otherwise you will be disappointed. Neither friendly and well maintained service nor tasty and various menus are to be expected, but only a terrace with truly stunning views of the Matterhorn, where you can enjoy some really basic food (soup, bread and cheese, homemade cakes), a good drink and relax after the very simple and very pleasant walk from Sunnegga to Tuftenalp. We were here with a 1-year-old child and our little dog, and we enjoyed the landscape and our drink, despite feeling that this place could be so much better in with something more love, passion and design / style, but we think the owners want to keep it 'low-Maintenance' and are happy to offer just a basic experience. Don't expect too much or you'd be disappointed.

The rating of James A. is still accurate. I've been skiing a lot, that was the first time in summer. In winter you have to go inside to get the food, but in summer it is basically waiter service. The owner was very friendly, and the apple cake is as good as never. It is cheap and cheerful with an excellent panorama of the Matterhorn. The cheese sandwich is two plates of bread, two dishes of local cheese and butter. Perfect. It is a cheap place that is rare in Zermatt. In winter they feed the deer that is a beautiful spectacle. I prefer this place over most other mountain self-service type restaurants.

Avoid! Owners are A-holes and menu is ****. Ski on Cervo, where food and service are amazing.

I come back here every year for the last 20 years. It is the last affordable hut around Zermatt and is perfect if you just want to get a fast meal. There is no need to wait, just grab a beer with some cheese and...sausage and head to the Terrace. The sunny terrace offers an amazing view and offers shelter from the wind. After that you can continue to enjoy the slopes. If you’re looking for a nice and fancy meal I suggest you to go to Findel where there are tons of great restaurants. But if you want a simple, fast and affordable meal, the Tufernalp is the place to go. I’ve always been treated respectfully but you don’t have to expect to be pampered. Last I would like to thank the owner to stay true to themselves and not to convert the Tufernalp to another fancy restaurant. See you next winter.

The more tufteren is off the road to Rothorn. we stayed on the sunny terrace with fresh cake, which is baked.Very cozy also inside. the operation of the chef is very friendly and speditiw. uncomplicated alpbeiz.
