Today I’m corresponding with a guest about traditional Swiss food, and the conversation we’re having has me thinking about this photo. I know what you’re thinking. What does a clock tower have to do with food? Look closely and notice the sign in the lower right corner that says “Walliserkanne Hotel.” That's the De la Croix Fédérale Hotel in Leukerbad, Switzerland. The hotel is cozy, and the food at their Walliserkanne restaurant is off the charts. They have the best Fondue, Raclette, Käseschnitte, and Rösti in the village. They also serve wood fired pizza at their Trattoria, and it’s all dished up in a very traditional, wood-paneled Swiss chalet. I love dining at this place! The building is historic, and the long history of the village permeates the atmosphere. People have inhabited this village for more than 2,400 years. The clock tower/church steeple in the background belongs to the Katholische Kirche Leukerbad (the Catholic Church of Leukerbad).
