Omar, may God bless him, was incredibly welcoming, helpful, and professional. The restaurant was absolutely delicious! We ordered a beef burger from Jet Switzerland, and it's the best I've had so far. Omar was absolutely amazing! May God bless him. His welcoming attitude, service, and way of dealing with us were excellent. The restaurant was also incredible, and the food was absolutely delicious! We ordered the beef burger, and honestly, it's the best burger I've had since arriving in Switzerland. Highly recommended! ❤️

There were no signs indicating the entrance to this park, and what's more, they said strollers were okay, but it turned out to be nothing but stairs and long steps. Terrible, terrible, terrible.

What's the point? Animals that should be living freely in the mountains are imprisoned there – it's heartbreaking. I find it absolutely outrageous that this place even exists as an attraction!
