"Brutally regional"
Brutally regional cuisine, zero food waste, plastic-free implementation, and deep social roots – a place that lives its values instead of just claiming them.
FULL FLAVOUR, ZERO WASTE
The culinary motto: “brutally regional”. Ingredients are sourced directly from producers – no middlemen, no industrial processing. What’s available goes on the plate, resulting in daily menus that are fresh, seasonal and surprising. The kitchen operates without food waste – and with maximum creativity.
MAKING CULINARY HERITAGE VISIBLE
The in-house KEDA Foundation manages the Edible Landscape with 250 types of fruits and berries and promotes Alpine food culture as a UNESCO World Heritage candidate. Host Peter Durrer brings this vision to the plate – and to the mind.
PLASTIC-FREE TO THE CORE
Drinking water is served via a glass dispensing system. Solid soaps, refillable dispensers, and durable materials replace disposables. Rooms feature Swiss wood, clean design and premium textiles – all built to last.
SOCIAL COMPETENCE AS CULTURAL VALUE
38 employees share 24 positions – ranging from 16 to 67 years old. Apprentices, refugees and career changers are actively involved. Continuing education is structural, not optional – participation is lived at every level.
