Why wild game belongs in the Alps

Wild game has long been associated with alpine dining because of its distinctive, nuanced flavours and its connection to the mountain landscape. In broad culinary terms:

• Game meats are typically lean and richly flavoured, often complemented by forest accents like juniper, herbs, and mushrooms.
• Preparation methods tend to prioritize clarity of flavour—think careful roasting or slow braising—so the natural character of the meat shines.
• Game dishes pair beautifully with seasonal sides and robust sauces, and they’re a fitting match for cooler alpine evenings.

This timeless culinary tradition aligns naturally with Hotel Schweizerhof’s focus on refined, regional dining in an atmosphere that’s both elegant and welcoming.
