About
Welcome to Alp Muottas, a hidden gem nestled in the majestic mountains of Alpmuottas, Switzerland. Located at 7503 Samedan, this charming spot offers more than just stunning views—it's a sanctuary for those seeking peace and natural beauty. As I stepped into this rustic retreat, I was immediately struck by the breathtaking vistas stretching across to St. Moritz. The landscape is nothing short of a postcard, with the enchanting lakes of Engadin glistening in the sunlight.
One of the highlights of my visit was the lively funicular railway that whisked me to the summit, setting the perfect tone for what lay ahead. Picture this: sipping a delightful cup of coffee and indulging in a delicious slice of cake, all while enjoying the panoramic views of snow-capped peaks and lush valleys. This magical experience is exactly what customer Mahak Rathore described, and I couldn’t agree more. Alp Muottas is an oasis of tranquility, where time seems to stand still, allowing guests to bask in the serenity of their surroundings.
The culinary offerings here are simple yet satisfying. The kneaded cheese plate, praised by fellow patrons like Toni Hänninen, showcases the rich, local flavors that complement the picturesque environment. Each bite is a reminder of the region's quality agriculture and artisanal craftsmanship.
In addition, the ambiance is enhanced by the bustling energy of hang gliders soaring overhead and the excitement of sleigh rides—a perfect blend of activity and relaxation. It’s a wonderful place to recharge before hitting the slopes of the nearby Schlittelpiste, often regarded as one of the fastest runs in Switzerland, as noted by Matthias Schmidt.
