A break at the restaurant at the mountain station is always worthwhile.
The wheelchair-accessible restaurant with around 170 seats offers a cozy atmosphere for everyone. On the sun terrace, at the foot of the surrounding 3,000-meter peaks, Sunnbüel invites you to linger—with sweeping views of the Gasterntal valley and the Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch.
To recharge your batteries, we serve soups, rösti, regional specialties, or a slice of cake—ideal for a delicious break before the next stage begins.
We look forward to welcoming you to our restaurant or sun terrace.
