Bergrestaurant Sunniggratli
3.1About
Bergrestaurant Sunniggratli sits at 1977m on the Sunniggrat ridge in Uri, above the village of Engelberg. Reach it from Engelberg in 2.5 hours via the Tritt–Surenenpass route, or in 3 hours via Gerschnialp. The hut works well as a day-trip destination or as a base for ridge traverses toward Titlis.
The restaurant accommodates 25 guests in simple rooms. Meals are served daily—phone ahead to confirm menu options and availability. Drinking water is on-site. This is a working mountain restaurant rather than a dedicated alpine hut, so expect straightforward hospitality and basic mountain food rather than luxury. It operates year-round, though snow can make the approach challenging in winter months.
Book by email or phone directly with the restaurant. Summer weekends fill quickly, especially July and August—contact at least 2 weeks ahead. Outside these peak months, same-week bookings often work. The hut is popular with day-hikers from Engelberg, so lunch and afternoon visits can be crowded despite sleeping capacity being small.
