Family restaurant on Fiesch's main street, near the station, with Goms chouera, rösti, pizza and more than thirty beers, including its own, Aletsch Bier.

A village dining room next to the station
Hotel des Alpes is a family hotel on the Furkastrasse, the main street of Fiesch, near the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn station. It is run by the Albrecht family and its restaurant is open to everyone, whether or not you are staying at the house. It has a forty-seat dining room with a stone wall, a thirty-seat lounge for coffee and mid-afternoon beer, and a sixty-seat terrace with awnings that cannot be booked: it is taken in order of arrival.
It is the place to have lunch or dinner in the valley when you come down from Fiescheralp or back from the glacier crossing, before the train. It is open every day from 8:00 to 23:00, with the kitchen running without a break from 11:30 to 21:15. There is one exception: from 1 November until the December holidays it closes on Sunday and serves no food between 14:00 and 17:00. The holidays run from 6 to 24 December.
What to eat
The house has the Walliser Genuss label and names its suppliers: the Nessier butcher's and the Zurgilgen bakery, of Fiesch, and A. Walker, of Bitsch. Among the most local dishes, the chouera (CHF 27), an old Goms pie made with what there was in the cellar: potato, leek, apple and cheese in pastry, with salad; they also serve it as a gluten-free flan. There is a Valais platter of cured beef and scraped cheese with AOC rye bread (CHF 27), woodcutter's rösti with bacon and egg (CHF 27), classic cheese fondue or with beer mustard (CHF 28) and an organic veal sausage from Fiesch with rösti (CHF 35).
For children and groups there is pizza, from CHF 19.50 to 24, cordon bleu stuffed with Valais ham and apricot (CHF 40) and a vegetarian quinoa burger on rösti (CHF 30). In autumn they add a game menu.
The house beer
Fabian Albrecht, of the family, is a qualified beer sommelier. In 2020 he began brewing beer in the hotel kitchen under the name Aletsch Bier: batches of about sixty bottles, and the recipes that work are brewed on a larger scale at a brewery in the Valais. It is served only here, alongside more than thirty beers from other breweries. If you do not know which to choose, order the flight of three beers of one decilitre each with beer and garlic popcorn (CHF 10).
