Your chef is the 37 year-old Pietro Catalano – who is half Italian - but from Zug, northern Switzerland. He first studied music but has developed his creativity in the kitchen by himself.  The self-taught cook has been in Valais for a while with three seasons in ‘Heidi’s Hütte’ on the Fiescheralp as manager.  Since June 2021 he has been demonstrating his talents in the Riederfurka restaurant, which belongs to the ALETSCH BAHNEN AG group.  

Let yourself be spoiled by chef Pietro Catalano and his team.  Only seven weeks after re-opening, Pietro’s cuisine was awarded 13 Gault&Millau points and his skills currently rank his restaurant among the 800 best Swiss restaurants.  Every dish on the menu tells a story. Pietro’s recipes are a homage to his Italian roots and his connection to Valais and the Riederfurka. All his culinary creations are based on sustainable and mainly organic ingredients and it is not surprising that the Riederfurka is engaged in the ‘slow food’ movement.

Patrick Z’Brun thinks outside the box; he understands the roots with which he and his team are developing new visionary spirit.A fine wine has, like a loving home, a soul and the team is delighted when they can share with others and so the doors to the Domaines Chevaliers are open to you.  

Anik is part of a music duo from Graubünden. Anik Casutt is the singer and her drummer is Joshua Bergamin. Their style is best described as ‘dark/electro pop’. You can recognize influences from artistes like Billie Eilish or Tash Sultana. When Anik was only 9 years old she sat behind her first drum kit. Today she also sings and writes songs. Her unmistakable voice expresses a lot of feelings. She sings about things that move her, frighten her or give her hope. She was placed third at the well-known competition ‘BandXOst’. She will be appearing live with her drummer, producer and guitarist. Releases of her first singles are planned for 2022.
