Fondue in Whymper's house
The Whymper Stube is on the ground floor of the Hotel Monte Rosa, on Zermatt's main street, and is named after Edward Whymper, the first man to climb the Matterhorn, who stayed at this hotel. It is a wooden dining room, with checked tablecloths, antiques and old photographs of the village.
What to order
The cooking is Swiss and traditional, with local cheese: fondue and raclette are the reason to come. They are accompanied by wines and liqueurs from the region. There is a lunch menu and an evening menu, which you can look at on the website before you go.
Opening hours and reservations
It opens every day from 12:00 to 21:30, so it also works for a late lunch when you come down from the mountain. In the evening, in high season, book: it is small and fills up. You reserve by phone or on the hotel's website.
What to order: the cheese fondue or the raclette, with a white from the Valais.
