Javier provided magnificent service, and the team at the Sonnenalp is delightful and treats their guests as family. It’s why we return time and time again. A gem!!! And the raclette, pretzel bread, cocktails and wine were excellent. We love the Swiss Chalet!!

Overall it was fine, not sure I would return since it was over $200 for cheese fondue, one onion soup, and chocolate fondue. They did take the sodas off the bill kindly without us asking.
