Atelier Hess
Welcome to Atelier Hess – at 1,800 metres above sea level. Here, we don’t just serve food, we serve ideas. Inspired by Engelberg pioneer Eugen Hess-Waser, we reinterpret alpine cuisine: fresh, bold, and just a little different. With us, indulgence becomes an adventure.
Description
At Atelier Hess, refined Alpine cuisine meets creative ideas and beloved classics. Under the direction of Head Chef Monique Haagen, a diverse menu takes shape, tailored to the tastes and needs of our guests – from skiers and hikers to discerning food lovers.
Seasonal ingredients, regional influences and meticulous attention to detail define our cuisine. This autumn, the team will delight you with a selection of game dishes and seasonal specialities, perfectly suited to the alpine setting at Truebsee. At 1,800 metres above sea level, Atelier Hess combines Alpine flavours, creative cuisine and a modern, approachable style.

Our culinary promise
Our cuisine combines the highest quality with a conscious approach to natural resources. Sustainability is at the heart of our culinary concept – from selecting our producers to the preparation on the plate.
Whenever possible, our ingredients come from Nidwalden and Central Switzerland. By working closely with regional producers, we ensure short transport routes, freshness, and transparency in the origin of our products. Fresh herbs, vegetables, and responsibly sourced meat form the foundation of our dishes.
Our offerings are complemented by carefully selected specialties from around the world that meet high quality and sustainability standards. As a partner of Wasser für Wasser (WfW), we are also committed to the responsible use of the planet’s most precious resource – clean drinking water – and support projects that provide global access to it.
