The story
Perched in the serene landscape of Sankt Niklausen, Kerns, Restaurant Alpenblick is a cherished destination for those seeking genuine hospitality and straightforward, excellent cooking. Hosts Lucia and Rolf Anderhalden have built a reputation that earned them a Michelin Bib Gourmand award, a recognition given for good quality, good value cooking. The restaurant sits at the gateway to countless hiking trails, from easy to challenging, making it an ideal stop after a day in the mountains or on the Melchsee-Frutt.
The spirit of Alpenblick is rooted in the personal touch of its owners. Rolf’s cooking is the heart of the experience, with a menu dedicated to his personal favourites. The cuisine is best described as heartfelt Swiss fare, prepared with skill and an eye for satisfying, flavourful dishes. The restaurant’s own words invite you to be "enchanted by the impressions of our work," a promise of meals that are both comforting and memorable. Diners can expect a selection of seasonal specialties and a thoughtfully curated wine list, all served in a setting that feels like a true home.
As of mid-2026, Lucia and Rolf will be retiring, closing a remarkable chapter at Alpenblick. Until then, they warmly invite guests to join them for the many conversations, laughter, and delicious meals that remain. The restaurant is open Wednesday through Sunday, with ample parking and easy access via the Postauto bus, stopping directly at "Alpenblick." It is a final, heartfelt opportunity to experience the warmth and quality that defined this special place.
