This Swiss Restaurant Is Built Into the Side of a Mountain

  • This restaurant in Weissbad, Switzerland, is remote, to say the least. Perched on the side of a mountain in the Swiss Alps, it’s at an elevation of about 5,000 feet above ground level. Even if you take a cable car, you’ve got to hike steep terrain at least part of the way. That said, it’s a beautiful journey that takes you through a 40,000-year-old cave and by a chapel carved right into the mountain. And you’re following in the footsteps of hungry hikers who have been trekking to this restaurant for 173 years.

    Been there. They've changed the owner several times. There are so many tourists, they just can't keep up. Strange to see them promote the place, 'cause they really don't need to.
