A mountain farm in Findeln

Chez Vrony is in Findeln, a hamlet of wooden houses at 2,100 m above Zermatt, with the Matterhorn opposite. The house was a simple mountain farm belonging to the Julen family and has been in the same family for more than a hundred years. They cook with their own organic produce: the dried meat, the house sausage and the alpine cheese come from cows that eat only grass from the pasture. There are also dishes with an international touch and a carefully chosen wine list.

Getting there

In summer you take the Sunnegga Express up to Sunnegga and walk down for about 30 minutes along the Findeln path, or walk from Zermatt in an hour and a half on a waymarked trail. In winter you arrive on skis along piste 6 from Sunnegga; on foot only if you walk well on snow, with good footwear and light crampons.
