Amadé Kalbermatten was named “Chef of the Year” by the International Ski Resort Test in Gtaad on Friday, June 10, 2022. The jury also named the Moosalp restaurant above Törbel, which he runs together with his wife Carmen, as the “most popular mountain restaurant of the year.”
Amadé and Carmen Kalbermatten have made Restaurant Moosalp a gastronomic hotspot over the last three decades. In a fantastic mountain location at 2,048 meters, guests enjoy traditional as well as sophisticated things.
At the Moosalp chef, guests can look forward to culinary delights that you wouldn't expect at such lofty heights. The style of Amadé Kalbermatten: exotic, local, Mediterranean. Amadé's homemade cream cake has long had cult status.
Even after more than 30 years, Kalbermatten is still full of passion and passion in his kitchen. The constant urge for new things is his biggest motivation to conjure up culinary innovations. His new ideas are refreshing and invigorating, and are the basis of his success even after 30 years of experience in mountain gastronomy. “Amadé is restless, restless in spirit, creative with ideas.” This is how Amadé is described by his immediate companion, his wife Carmen. Standing still in what he has is Amadé's absurd.
These qualities have made the Moosalp boss a name throughout Switzerland. GaultMillau honors Amadé's cuisine with 14 points. Kalbermatten is a member of the Swiss Guild and the Guide Bleu. The passionate restaurateur is also one of the few chefs in Upper Valais to be accepted into the “Disciples d'Auguste Escoffier” association. In February, Kalbermatten received the “Swiss Culinary Merits” prize from Federal Councillor Guy Parmelin.
