A cozy place to stop for a break during your day of hiking. Enjoy a snack and a house-brewed Gadastatt beer on the beautiful sun terrace.

At the gondola’s upper station, the panoramic restaurant welcomes you with breathtaking views and alpine hospitality. It’s easily accessible by gondola and serves as the starting or ending point for the Gadastatt–Frunt–Zerfreila panoramic trail, as well as for the Gadastatt–Leis–Vals hike.
In the summer, children can have fun at the playground, which features a swing, sandbox, and slide.

The gondola ride from Vals to Gadastatt and back is free for everyone. The gondola takes a lunch break from 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.
