What They’re Known for: The Swiss Chalet is known for their fondue bar. One of the favorite fondues among locals is the Chinoise Fondue which is a pot of burgundy that has been infused with beef broth and is served with potatoes, beef tenderloin, and vegetables. In addition to the fondue, the Swiss Chalet is known for their delicious entrees including the Gebackener Lamm-Rucken, which is a rack of lamb crusted with herbs and served with a delicious, creamy polenta.
What to Watch for: The tab. Some of the entrees are priced higher than you may be used to. The average entrée ranges in price from $25-$45. You also want to watch your waistline when here as you could easily splurge on many of the sweet, tempting, and affordable desserts offered in house. But if you’re already splurging on a ski trip….
