7132 Silver: Two Michelin Stars in Vals, Switzerland – Fine Dining in the Alps

7132 Silver

In the Alpine village of Vals, 7132 Silver operates as a platform for culinary talent. Housed in a guestroom designed by Swiss architect Peter Zumthor, the restaurant has become a launching point for some of the region’s most successful young chefs and sommeliers.

The current kitchen is led by Head Chef Marcel Koolen, who was named “Newcomer of the Year 2026” in Switzerland. Koolen and his young crew take a dynamic approach, often venturing into the surrounding hills to gather mushrooms, herbs, and berries directly from nature. This local foraging is balanced with the most exclusive products sourced from around the world, resulting in dishes that stage the freshest local components against a global backdrop. The team’s talent and this distinct philosophy have earned the restaurant two Michelin stars, a recognition of excellent cooking that feels both grounded and ambitious.

The dining room itself, designed by Zumthor, provides a serene and focused setting. An extensive wine list is available, and the team also offers a matching drinks pairing for those who prefer an alternative. For a more exclusive experience, the adjacent 7132 Cristal offering pairs a surprise 10-course menu with rare Cristal champagne, selected by the in-house sommelier. This fine dining in the Alps is open Thursday through Sunday evenings, with Sunday lunch also served. The restaurant will be closed from 24 August to 18 September.
