Berggasthaus Aescher,
Schwende, Switzerland
It’s
a long and arduous hike or a meandering cable car journey (followed by a
shorter hike) up to this 19th-century inn, which clings vertiginously to the
side of the Ebenalp mountain in the Appenzell region of the Swiss Alps.
Berggasthaus Aescher was built by farmers as a place to rest while their goats
grazed. Now it’s a jaw-dropping destination restaurant and guesthouse with
views across the valleys to Lake Constance. The food is typical hearty Alpine
fare with lots of cheese, eggs and potatoes – much needed for the return
journey.
