«HE WHO WANTS TO EAT WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING THE ART OF COOKING CANNOT REASONABLY JUDGE THE DISHES THAT ARE SERVED.»

PLATON 428 BC – 348 BC<
Tobias Funke, star chef with Gault Millau points, Executive Chef and Managing Director of the «Gasthaus zur Fernsicht» in Heiden AR, makes Heiden a real culinary hotspot in the region. Under his leadership, however, there is not only gourmet gastronomy offered but also a restaurant with traditional «Swiss Alpine Food», a bar with a cigar lounge, a café in the village or in winter a fondue chalet and an ice rink in the middle of the village with breathtaking views of Lake Constance.
„Cooking is intuition and creativity, but also skill and experience,» Tobias Funke is convinced. Nevertheless, he says: „Cooking doesn’t have to be that difficult!“ and offers cooking courses for small groups. „Of course, the courses can be customised individually. I will not only show you the basics of cooking, but also let you into my personal recipes and my cooking philosophy,“ says Tobias Funke.

Ice Rink Heiden
We will not be operating our ice rink in the 2022/23 season due to the power shortage. Conducting our ice skating operations would be a wrong signal in the current situation. Let’s stick together and solve this challenge together as well.
However, we will not let you take away curling on the Fernsicht property. The curling rinks are operated without electricity on artificial ice. Come by for a glass of mulled wine or fresh chestnuts.
