Restaurant Schaeferstube, housed in a charming wooden chalet and part of the Julen family’s long-standing hospitality tradition, specialises in authentic Valais cuisine with a particular focus on dishes prepared from the family’s own black-nose sheep. The menu celebrates regional heritage through hearty, mountain-inspired flavours, showcasing meats, cheeses and seasonal produce from the surrounding Alps.
The interior retains the warm, rustic character of a traditional Swiss stube: timber walls, soft lighting and a cosy, home-like feel that invites unhurried dining. Despite the rustic setting, execution remains refined, with careful preparation and attentive service elevating each classic dish.
A favourite for travellers seeking a deeply local, genuinely Alpine experience, it delivers comfort, authenticity and a strong sense of place — a timeless expression of Zermatt’s pastoral roots served with understated sophistication.
