For active people:

Winter hiking & snowshoeing

Fondue is as much a part of winter as snow. So why not combine the two? Active winter fans can do this on a winter or snowshoe hike on Schönhalden or Flumserberg. The only question that remains is whether to enjoy a fondue first or to look forward to it after a hike. That's up to you.

For chalet fans:

RivellaHome on the Flumserberg

In the cozy wooden chalet you can enjoy the Flumserberg fondue. Raclette with cheese from the Flumserberg Alpine dairy is also served. The chalet is open daily at Christmas and New Year. It is open on Friday and Saturday evenings until the beginning of March.

Our tip: Night skiing (Fridays) or night sledging (Thursdays and Saturdays) before the fondue. It tastes particularly good then.
