Panoramarestaurant Muottas Muragl

Dining at 2,456 metres

The Panoramarestaurant is the dining room of the Romantik Hotel Muottas Muragl, the small mountain hotel at the summit, at 2,456 m, above Samedan and Pontresina. You can only get there by the Muottas Muragl funicular, which has run since 1907. From the window you see the whole Upper Engadine valley with its lakes, from St. Moritz to Maloja: it is the reason to go up for dinner, especially at sunset, which the house calls the "magic hour".

At the summit there are three different places: the Panoramarestaurant, with table service; the panoramic terrace, for lunch or a drink in the sun; and the Scatla, a fast-food spot for before or after a walk, open in season from 8:00 to 17:00.

The menu and prices

The cook, Lukas Pfaff, blends traditional Engadine cooking with the occasional Asian touch, and makes the pasta and the capuns by hand. On the panoramarestaurant's lunchtime menu, rösti with butter, fried egg and bacon costs CHF 29.50; the Valtellina pizzoccheri, with buckwheat, potato, cabbage, Casera cheese and sage and garlic butter, CHF 28.90; Graubünden barley soup, CHF 17; char fillet with spinach, CHF 38; and the Wiener schnitzel of veal, CHF 54.50. There are vegan dishes, a children's menu and, for nibbling, sciatt, fried buckwheat balls filled with cheese, at CHF 8. For dessert, Engadiner Nusstorte at CHF 9.50 or Engadine Kaiserschmarren.

Hours, season and how to get up

It opens only in season: in winter, from 19 December 2026 to 4 April 2027; in summer 2026 it was open from 6 June to 25 October.

The funicular leaves Punt Muragl every 30 minutes, from 7:45 to 23:00, so you can come down after dinner. You reach the lower station by regional train (Punt Muragl stop) or by bus from Samedan; by car, there is free parking at the lower station.
