Against the dramatic backdrop of the towering Schafberg, at the very end of the regularly accessible road into the Zug valley, the setting of this standalone, listed Walser house is as unique as the building itself. The atmosphere of its four-century-old rooms, the snug charm of the low-ceilinged parlours, the untreated timber, the small window openings, the special warmth of the tiled stove – all of it evokes memories of bygone times while feeling utterly timeless and therefore perfectly at home in the present.

The presence and timelessness of this building are so distinctive and powerful that they create generous space for culinary interpretations of shared conviviality and time together.
