“In Brig, the former railwaymen's pub maintains a Gault & Millau recognized restaurant. I noted how well-situated it is, just a short walk from the train station, convenient for accessing many hiking trails. The family-friendly amenities and spacious suites make it an excellent choice for longer stays in the Alps.”
