The Gantrischhütte is located in the middle of the Gantrisch Nature Park on the Gurnigel Pass road at an altitude of 1,510 meters. If you are driving over the Gurnigel or simply in this region in general, it is worth stopping here to replenish your energy reserves.

Looks nice. But the place is more for gentrified new money (sorry to say). But the restaurant is worth the visit.

Whether in summer on the sunny terrace or in winter in the cozy dining room, guests at the Gasthof Löwen enjoy excellent cuisine and friendly service! The family business is run by Regula and Roger Aebischer, the sixth generation. The passionate hosts are members of the professional associations "Gilde of Established Gastronomers" and "Cercles des Chefs de Cuisine Berne." The friendly duo pampers their guests with heart and soul and seasonal delicacies. An annual tradition is the game buffet from local hunts – presented and honored with passion. Whether feasting, a refreshing drink, or an overnight stay – hospitality is lived at the Gasthof Löwen Riffenmatt.

The Ball of Thread Look around: Dense forests line the slopes of the Horbühl Pass. Numerous secrets are hidden within them. Secrets about dwarves, elves, fairies, and dragons. Until a few generations ago, these creatures were omnipresent in people's lives. One day, several Riffenmatt residents managed to capture two dwarves. The population hoped to gain access to the well-kept secrets of the nature spirits in this way... Listen to the legend to learn what trick the dwarves used to free themselves from their predicament.
