Fondue Gondola — Restaurant in Lauterbrunnen

Very cute!

The Fondue Gondola is less of a restaurant and more of a particular table/menu at the Goldlöckchen Restaurant. I definitely recommend reserving ahead of time since there's only one slot per evening! Check in either at the restaurant or the hotel front desk.

You sit in an outdoor ski gondola converted into a romantic table, and they serve a charcuterie appetizer, multiple cheese fondues with bread and potatoes, dessert, and wine.

Everything is taken care of by the staff at the restaurant who bring out the food and check on you periodically. They were friendly and accommodating! It was great even while it was raining because the gondola is enclosed and the fondue burners keep it warm and cozy inside.

It would be a great spot to celebrate honeymoons, anniversaries, birthdays, or just a highlight Swiss dinner for a trip in Jungfrau. Note that it is priced for the romantic getaway traveler, not the...

It is what it says on the tin - a fondue in a gondola!

Don’t get me wrong, the fondue is delicious but you pay a hefty premium for the pleasure of eating it in an old school gondola. The gondola, sadly, is slightly mouldy round the edges, lacks a reliably working heater and is out the back of the hotel in a rather unaesthetic location.

Was it an experience? Yes. Was it memorable? For sure. Would I do it again? No.

The staff were friendly and accommodating, and gave us a discount due to the fact the heaters won’t working and the temperature was below freezing outside. With a bit of a spruce it could be amazing but for now I would say it’s not worth the premium when you can enjoy their delicious fondue in...

Absolutely wonderful experience! Most importantly, they were able to make GLUTEN FREE accommodations for me, which was fantastic. We called 2 days in advance. They said they can also do dairy free fondue, we didn’t need that, but I know that may help others trying to enjoy.

The fondue came with bread (they subbed in gluten free bread), baked little potatoes, pear, pickles, baby corn, cauliflower, and carrots. They also offered an appetizer plate of meats, pickles, and cantaloupe and an incredible dessert like was a cross of pudding and mouse with rhubarb and strawberry.

The host was very personable, telling us fun traditions that he and his friends have with fondue and how they like to eat it.
