The Ice complex is located on the upper floor of the Zermatt-Furi gondola terminus and the cable car to Klein Matterhorn, at an altitude of 9,640 feet. The view from the restaurant is virtually unparalleled on the planet. Surrounded by a 360-degree view of the Matterhorn, Klein Matterhorn, the Theodul Glacier and pass into Italy, as well as views of the Gornergrat and the Gorner Glacier, it is a picture-taker's paradise. 24 peaks over 4,000 meters surround the place, virtually the highest peaks in the Alps. You don't have to be a skier/boarder to get there, as there are many tourists that frequent Trockener Steg and some choose to remain at a lower altitude than the lung-challenging 13,000 feet in Klein Matterhorn. The Ice complex has all, a cafeteria, a sit-down restaurant, and a bar. The food is modern European. Superb pastas and Swiss delicacies such as Rosti and Schnitzel. Excellent pastries - but please beware if you're lactose intolerant (like me) if you order Strudel, make sure you tell the waiter to skip the milk sauce or else you'll have your strudel coated with heavy cream sauce. Like most places in Zermatt, it definitely costs extra. But considering the view, the ambiance, and the experience, it is worth it. Spotlessly clean, friendly staff, and congenial customers that are usually finding hard to eat because their jaws are dropped from the spectacular beauty of the entire area.

We had the penne pesto and spaghetti and both were freshly made, very large portions and wonderful. The desserts were also quite good. But you can also get bratwursts, Salad, soup, sausage, schnitzel, hash browns topped with a variety of things and of course there is a pizza restaurant nest door in addition to buffet. Stop by the ICE bar for some great options at a reasonable price.

When we entered the restaurant, there was a smell of old cheese not cleaned properly from the caquelons, burners or other dishes what should indeed - have been a clear warning for us. We did NOT have Fondue what many tourists eat here but the "Special" of the day - soup or salad as a starter, turkey with risotto on a tomato sauce. The soup and salad where good, the main course too although the presentation of the course was a little unusual - everything was kind of "swimming" in the risotto and the turkey was so cooked you did not need a knife but rather a soup spoon which was also offered unsolicited. It tased good and we were full very easily. Long story short - the food was tasty but we both had belly cramps half an hour later when we were back at the hotel.

The beer selection is off the charts, with something for every taste, and the atmosphere is so warm and inviting we almost canceled our dinner plans just to try what Graham was cooking.

And whatever you do, don't forget to say hello to Charlie the dog -- he's part of the charm.

We were told there would be a second serving, and sure enough, after we finished our main dishes, they magically replenished. I don't think the owner will allow you to leave less than stuffed! The most memorable part of the meal for me was the butter bean served as side dish. I am told it comes from their own garden. Attaching a scenic view of the restaurant exterior.

Turns out it was coming from Soupi. There is just a walk up counter and one man serving soup. There was a bit of a line forming, and each soup gets custom garnish so it doesn't move very quickly. After waiting, they sold out of soup right in front of me - totally devastating. Undeterred, I came back over an hour later and there was more soup ready. I got the potato leek and it was delicious and definitely worth waiting in the line twice. This was yesterday and I'm already thinking about going back.
