Stafelalp Mountain Restaurant in Davos: High Altitude Alpine Dining

The High Alpine Kitchen

Stafelalp in Davos offers Swiss mountain cuisine with a deliberate fusion twist at an elevation of 2,200 meters. Perched directly beneath the north face of the Matterhorn, the venue moves well beyond standard alpine hut fare to meet the expectations of discerning visitors. This elevated approach earned a solid thirteen point rating from Gault&Millau for the 2026 season.

Signature Mountain Dishes

Guests often begin with a finely seasoned potato cream soup finished with shaved black truffle and crispy fried onions. The menu features lighter preparations such as Burrata Genovese paired with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, arugula, stuffed olives, peppers, cherry tomatoes, pine nuts, and fresh pesto. Heartier selections include smoked salmon trout served alongside roasted potatoes, sweet strawberries, and a chopped egg hollandaise. This Swiss mountain cuisine philosophy keeps flavors clean and seasonal, avoiding unnecessary richness.

Terrace and Mountain Atmosphere

The expansive sunny terrace operates throughout both summer and winter, welcoming hikers, mountain bikers, and skiers navigating the local trails. Visitors frequently choose this specific altitude for the unobstructed views beneath the Matterhorn north face. The layout encourages guests to linger over meals and drinks long after completing their daily routes.
