The Pignon room is our favorite. It's closest to the roof terrace and offers an impressive view of the Mutschnengia suspension bridge and Piz Pazzola. In winter, you can watch the deer at dusk or as the sun rises.

Cake baking is a great passion of Petra's! That's why there's often a delicious smell of cake coming from the kitchen. Try the apple strudel from Petra's Viennese grandmother's recipe: it's a real treat!
