Full moon fondue

Eat well instead of sleeping poorly

Cheese fondue under the full moon with the most beautiful view

Experience a magical full moon night on the Gurten with a unique fondue experience on the Gurtners terrace. Snuggled up in warm blankets and furs, enjoy a delicious fondue accompanied by live music and a breathtaking view of the illuminated city of Bern. The evening begins with a warming mulled wine aperitif, followed by creamy fondue and a sweet dessert. Aromatic tea is also served.

The event takes place whatever the weather: whether under sparkling stars or snowflakes, appropriate clothing is a must. In case of rain, dinner will be served in the Huusbüffet, while the aperitif can be enjoyed outside by the fire pit.

The full-moon fondue can be supplemented with an optional full-moon viewing session at the Gurten Observatory, led by Astro Events.
