The story
At Hôtel Six Senses Crans-Montana in Crans-Montana, the new alpine-inspired cuisine takes shape under Chef Emiliano Vignoni. Jean-Yves Blatt brought Vignoni to the property after previously leading operations at The Chedi in Andermatt. The Spanish-Argentinian cook approaches the Wild Cabin menu with deliberate speed, designing every plate for sharing. His culinary style balances familiar mountain ingredients with unexpected global spices. This evolving Swiss kitchen earned a solid fourteen-point rating from Gault&Millau for the 2026 season.
The beef tenderloin arrives sliced into fine ribbons that retain remarkable tenderness alongside a yogurt chimichurri dressing. Small tomato tartare mimics traditional meat preparations, dressed with balsamic caviar and sharp seasoning. A separate course introduces delicate olive oil pearls that burst on the palate. Vegetables receive equal attention through a zucchini blossom fried in light tempura batter, stuffed with tangy goat cheese and finished with bright lemon gel. Chicken croquettes paired with Korean mayonnaise round out the savory offerings.
The venue sits within the luxury resort grounds, providing direct access to nearby ski slopes. The Wild Cabin name reflects its compact, lodge-style footprint designed for comfortable group gatherings. Natural materials and subdued tones keep the atmosphere focused on the food rather than decoration. An attentive sommelier curates the cellar to match the bold spice profiles found throughout the mountain dining program. The wine list emphasizes crisp whites from neighboring valleys and structured reds that complement rich meats. Staff remain prepared to guide guests through both established vintages and lighter natural selections.
