Raclette Pop-up at the Zuber Winery's Wine Shop in Rudolfingen

You can sample the winery’s own wines while choosing between two menus featuring raclette cheese from Wyland Chäsi. Perfect for anyone who likes it small, refined, and relaxed—bookable for a minimum of six and a maximum of 20 people.
Fondue in the fire cellar of the Landgasthof Gyrenbad above Turbenthal
At the foot of the Schauenberg, the seasonally decorated fire cellar of the historic Gasthof Gyrenbad is particularly cozy - including an open fireplace.

Fondue and raclette in the SILO Rooftop Pleasure Lounge at THE VALLEY Kemptthal
Located in the heart of the vibrant THE VALLEY district, right next to the Kemptthal train station, the SILO Rooftop Bar transforms into a cozy lounge where you can enjoy a relaxing evening.

Fondue variations and raclette fun in the Wintialp near the city park
Here, in the heart of the city, a piece of the mountains comes to life. The elegant yet rustic chalet, featuring the Platzhirschbar, invites you to enjoy convivial evenings by a crackling fire. Fifteen fondue variations—from whiskey to Prosecco to saffron—delight cheese lovers, as does the raclette experience with chili-mango or smoked cheese. Tables can be reserved online.
