Full-moon fondue

Eat well instead of sleeping badly
Join forces with family, friends and work colleagues on the Gurten to combat sleepless nights. Out on the terrace of Restaurant Gurtners, we’ll serve you a delicious fondue under the full moon and in good company.

Included in the offer:
Aperitif with mulled wine
***
Pickled vegetables to enjoy before and during the fondue
***
Gurten fondue served in a caquelon with bread and kirsch
***
A selection of desserts from our pastry chef

Optional extra: moon viewing after dessert (approx. 9.30 pm)

We recommend the Full Moon Fondue primarily for adults, as children have a different tolerance to the cold. Therefore, only adult tickets are available. However, if you would still like to bring children, they are of course welcome. Children up to the age of 12 pay half price, which can be settled on the day. Please state the number of children in the ‘Comments’ field when booking.

Experience the full moon up close: optional moon-viewing session at the observatory

Enhance your full moon fondue with a special nature experience: a guided moon-viewing session at the Gurten Observatory. Together with the experts from Astro Events, you’ll explore the full moon through the Gurten telescope and learn fascinating facts about its origins, surface and intriguing characteristics.

The observation session lasts around 45 to 60 minutes and takes place outdoors at the observatory after dessert. As well as the full moon, we’ll also be looking at other bright celestial objects that are clearly visible despite the full moon. Depending on the season, these may include, for example, star clusters, double stars or planets.

Seasonal highlights:
  • November and December: Saturn with its impressive ring system
  • January and February: Jupiter with its largest moons and the reddish glow of Mars
Price excludes drinks and the Gurtenbahn cable car (GA/Libero/Half-Fare card valid).
We recommend wearing weather-appropriate clothing; blankets are provided.

Weather:
The Full Moon Fondue takes place whatever the weather:
  • If there is snow, outside on the terrace of Restaurant Gurtners
  • In the event of rain, in the Huusbüffe
Moon viewing can only take place if the sky is sufficiently clear. Should viewing not be possible due to cloud cover or unfavourable weather conditions, the fee for the moon viewing will be refunded in full.
