The hamlet of Findelen was once a “Maiensäss”, where many Zermatt families lived and worked during the summer months, growing grain and grazing cattle. Today, Findeln attracts numerous visitors in both summer and winter for its superb mountain cuisine.The mountain restaurants at Findeln are world-famous, accessible by footpath or direct from the ski pistes. Many of the old houses are now holiday homes. The authentic Walser houses, barns and stores built of larch timber blackened by the sun are idyllic subjects for photographs. Findeln’s buildings are scattered across the sunny slopes between altitudes of 2,000 and 2,200 m.
