Why Clavadatsch Hut is a summer must
Panoramic terrace above St. Moritz
Set high above the village, the Clavadatsch Hut is all about sweeping views over St. Moritz and the surrounding mountains. Its terrace is widely regarded as one of the most impressive in the area—an open‑air stage for sunny lunches, golden‑hour aperitifs, and those slow, contented moments that define a mountain holiday.
Signature open‑fire dishes
Clavadatsch is known for grilled specialties prepared over an open fireplace—flame‑kissed classics that taste like summer in the Alps. Look out for favorites such as Zigeunerspiess and half chicken roasted over an open fire. Expect hearty, simple preparations that celebrate the setting: quality ingredients, smoky aromas, and generous portions.
A sought‑after terrace venue
Reviews and returning guests consistently point to the terrace as a highlight—well maintained, welcoming, and perfectly positioned for a long, leisurely lunch. It’s the kind of place where time stretches and every table turns into a front row seat to the Engadin’s big‑sky drama.

Make it the perfect Engadin day
Turn lunch at the Clavadatsch Hut into a full‑day alpine experience. Here are easy ways to build your itinerary around the hotel’s on‑site perks:
Ride, then refuel
- Borrow e‑bikes free of charge as a hotel guest and explore Engadin cycling trails before or after your meal.

- Plan your ride with the Engadin mountain‑bike trail map available at the hotel.
A high‑energy morning ride followed by an open‑fire lunch on the terrace is a summer combo that’s hard to beat.
Check the weather from the rooftop
Mountain weather changes fast. Before you head up, view live webcams from the hotel’s rooftop and surroundings to gauge conditions in real time. Clear skies? Claim your spot outdoors. Breezy or brisk? Layer up and lean into the alpine feel.
Unwind after your meal
Back at the hotel, reset in the sauna, steam bath, and relaxation terrace—a soothing post‑adventure ritual that pairs perfectly with the crisp Engadin air.
Add an early‑morning boost
Start your day with rooftop yoga every Friday from 07:30–08:30. It’s open to hotel guests and local residents; simply call +41 81 837 07 07 to register. Stretch, breathe, and then make your way to the mountains for lunch.
Keep the evening going
After a day outside, settle in for drinks back at the hotel. The Pianobar hosts live piano music in the evenings—a relaxed way to close out your summer day. For a change of scene, you’ll also find Muli, Le Hall, and the cosy Stübli.
