The legend of
Stafelalp

Originally built as an exclusive mountain chalet, Stafelalp became a mountain restaurant in Zermatt as the ski area attracted more and more visitors.
Numerous historical events have shaped this place – from legendary parties to a fire in 2018. Today, Stafelalp reopens its doors and invites you to become part of its story.

The new old Stafelalp

Three years after the fire, the new Stafelalp reopened on December 10, 2021.
