I spent five hot summer days trekking the Italian Alps and sampling gelatos in the little towns…read morebelow them in search for the one that would blow me away. Finally, on the fifth day, the Gods of Gelato bestowed their graciousness upon me and showed me the not only the most delicious, but ironically also the cheapest gelato I've had during my entire five day search. For a mere 3.50, my L size cup was stuffed with ice cream in such a generous huge pile that my ice cream towered above the rim just like the lovely Mt.Cervino watching over this entire village. The gelato had the taste and consistency of gods' ambrosia, just like they make them at their best in Italy. It was so sumptuously creamy and thick that even in the extreme summer heat, you could take all the time you wanted admiring the pile of goodness in front of you, and not a bit of it would melt away. My pistachio flavor perfectly captured the essence of fresh yummy pistachios, and the cream flavor was just pure creamy heaven, not too sweet, but melting your taste buds away with its velvety smoothness. My sampling partner shared the burst of joy I experienced over this gelato. We wish we could come back again. For summer days, this place has a spacious outdoor seating where you can have your own little fangirl moment over this ice cream like we did.

As tempted as I was by the amazing chocolate varieties, I went with a scoop of mango and a scoop of fruits of the forest. Delicious! Full of flavour, every bite was fab. Make a detour before you go up into the mountains, you'll be glad you did.

There are both indoor and outdoor counters you can line up at, and while there's usually a line, it moves pretty quickly. You can sample two flavors, and I got Fleur de Lait and the Cookies flavor. I appreciated that with one scoop, they give you a complimentary mini scoop of another flavor on top!

This place was a pain to find because it's located at the corner of a long street downhill near the shore, but it was worth the trip, especially because there aren't many other ice cream places in Nyon! I got the chili dark chocolate - as are most things in Switzerland, it was pretty expensive so I only got 1 scoop. This place has no-nonsense, super creamy gelato. The hint of spiciness was a great, zesty twist of flavor and added a welcome addition to the core, creamy dark chocolate. I'm actually really glad they had a flavor this unique in Europe, as I was beginning to miss the peculiarity of savory / spicy + sweet combos that is booming in New York. Plus, I was impressed they had dark in Switzerland, a country dominated by its more well-known, sweeter milk chocolate. Also definitely helps the waffle cone was fresh and delicious, and added a welcoming texture mix!
