Mountain jewel Eisee

While the first guests start their day early on the summit, things are more relaxed a few hundred metres lower down. The Host serves us his well-known cheese toast. Enjoy a coffee on the sun terrace of the mountain lodge and keep an eye out for ibex, chamois and mountain hares.
