Aroser Weisshorn, Mountain summit in Grisons, Switzerland
Description

Culture
The mountain restaurant at the summit houses Europe's highest bakery, where local pastry chefs prepare traditional Swiss bread and pastries daily.
Practical
The gondola system operates year-round, making the summit accessible in all seasons for visitors with varying fitness levels. The middle station serves as a natural starting point for hikes of different lengths and difficulty, allowing flexible planning.
