Restaurant Panorama: The meeting place on the Bürchneralp
On the way from Bürchen to Moosalp, at almost exactly 2000 meters above sea level, lies the Panorama Restaurant. On the Bürchneralp with Sandra and Erich you can expect not only delicious food, but also a breathtaking view over the Rhone Valley. Let yourself be seduced by the culinary delights and then enjoy an action-packed ride down to Bürchen on the restaurant's own monster scooters.
In May 2017, the two hosts Sandra Schwab and Erich Jung took over the Panorama. With a lot of passion, the two of them run the traditional mountain restaurant, which was opened in the summer of 1963 by Alfons Furrer. The large sun terrace and the homely atmosphere invite you to linger and feast. Guests and locals feel at home here in summer and winter.
Valais specialties, OLMA bratwurst and much more...
With a lot of passion, Erich prepares delicious raclettes and grilled specialties in his grill hut outside on the terrace. Among the recommended classics are "Erich's Schnitzelbrot" or the St. Gallen Olma bratwurst, a reference to his former homeland. Sandra and Erich were at home in the St. Gallen region for a long time. Erich worked independently in the construction industry for 24 years. His partner Sandra had previously worked in the hospitality industry. Both knew the region before they took over the Panorama. Sandra has been skiing in the Moosalpregion since her youth.
When her predecessors Christine and Hans were looking for successors, Sandra noticed an ad on the Internet. She seized the opportunity and has been running the restaurant together with Erich ever since. The two obviously enjoy their work and have found a new home in Bürchen. They skillfully continue the concept of the simple mountain inn and invested a lot of time and effort in their restaurant. With their friendly manner, they and their team are always concerned about the well-being of their guests.
Meeting place for hikers and bikers
Around the Panorama offers a variety of leisure activities. In summer, the restaurant is especially popular with hikers and bikers. Those who are on the road with an e-bike can charge their battery right in the restaurant parking lot and enjoy a raclette on the terrace in the meantime. Up to 18 e-bikes can be charged at the charging station. In addition, the Bürchneralp is a popular meeting place for motorcyclists. Sundays offer the opportunity to have a leisurely brunch with the family. In winter, the restaurant is easy to reach by ski and snowboard and is ideally connected to the ski area.
Experience ride Monstertrotti
Four years ago Erich started the project Monstertrotti. He wanted to create an additional summer offer for his guests and the whole Moosal region, following the example of other well-known destinations. With the approval of the municipality, he immediately put his idea into practice. At the beginning he bought 10 used monster scooters and repaired them. The scooter track leads from the Panorama Restaurant on marked paths down to Bürchen, Egga. During the preparation of the track, Erich immediately lent a hand himself. With the help of some helpers from the village, he continuously improved the track every spring so that it can be safely used with the scooters. Today he owns 37 scooters, which can be rented including helmet directly in the restaurant.
The descent to Bürchen leads mostly through the forest and is very well signposted. The route is rather narrow and leads over hill and dale. Nevertheless, it is effortless to ride. On the way there are several places that are perfect for a short break. The ride is huge fun and guarantees an experience for young and old.
