Ferme Auberge Schiessroth, Farm restaurant in Metzeral, France.
Ferme Auberge Schiessroth is a mountain restaurant housed in a working farm located at 1,180 meters (3,900 feet) elevation. The dining rooms and terrace offer views across the Munster Valley and Lake Schiessrothried, and the farm continues its agricultural operations alongside restaurant service.
The Schubnel family founded this mountain farm as a restaurant to maintain traditional farming while serving visitors. For several generations, the place has combined agricultural work with hospitality while preserving older cultivation and production methods.
The restaurant serves mountain farmer dishes that reflect local food traditions with ingredients like smoked pork collar and fresh Munster cheese produced on-site. Visitors experience regional cooking methods that have been part of family meals here for several generations.
The restaurant operates Tuesday through Wednesday and Friday through Sunday, with access via a paved path from Gaschney station. Visitors should be prepared for mountain terrain, changing weather, and the time needed to reach the location.
Visitors can watch the daily cow milking at 7 PM and purchase farm products like yogurt and fresh cheese directly from the operation. This offers a rare chance to see the everyday work of a working mountain farm while enjoying a meal.
