The story

Bergwelt - BG's Grill Restaurant, Grindelwald: Michelin-Recommended Contemporary Alpine Dining

Setting the Scene

At the foot of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, the Bergwelt Grindelwald Alpine Design Resort brings a sense of alpine exploration to its dining room. BG's Grill Restaurant is the resort's flagship, where the warmth of Swiss wood and modern design frame panoramic mountain views. The restaurant is part of a larger philosophy: "Follow the call of the unknown and find strength and courage in the shelter of the mountains."

The Chef and His Approach

The kitchen is led by Chef Urs Gschwend, whose name appears on the resort's culinary packages — including a 4-course gourmet menu offered as part of the "Culinary Time Out" experience. His cooking is rooted in contemporary cuisine, drawing on regional ingredients and the traditions of the Bernese Oberland. The resort emphasises partnerships with local producers, and the kitchen reflects that commitment to seasonality and place.

Michelin Recognition

In 2026, BG's Grill earned a Michelin Recommended distinction, a nod to the quality and consistency of its contemporary cooking. The award places the restaurant among the notable dining destinations in the Swiss Alps, where the interplay of mountain air, precise technique and honest flavour defines the meal.

The Dining Experience

Guests can choose from a la carte options or multi-course chef's menus, often paired with wines from the resort's cellar. The Romantic Package, for instance, includes a 4-course Chef menu with wine pairing at BG's Grill, while the Mountain Escape Summer Package offers a 3-course Chef menu each evening. The atmosphere is relaxed yet refined — a space where hikers, hotel guests and local diners gather to share stories over a well-made meal.

Beyond the Grill

The resort also operates The Seven Spirits bar, where bartender Ramiro Smith won the 2026 Nullpromille Trophy for his alcohol-free cocktail "Uva Sana". For a more casual bite, the Bergwelt Food Truck serves street food like cheeseburgers and pulled pork during the warmer months. But for a full expression of the resort's culinary ambition, BG's Grill is the destination.
