JEREMIAS KUNZ & CHRISTINE SUTER

DORFMETZG GRINDELWALD

Since January 2025, Jeremias “Jerry” Kunz and Christine Suter have been running the Dorfmetzg Grindelwald in the heart of the village — a butcher’s shop built around in-house slaughtering, short transport routes, and close relationships with local farmers in Grindelwald. After all, these farmers know the best places where the animals are able to graze in our beautiful valley, and you can taste that connection in the final product.

Animals are processed locally — without long transport routes and without unnecessary stress. Tradition and modern craftsmanship go hand in hand in their work. Jerry and Christine are strong advocates of the nose-to-tail philosophy and personally advise their customers at the counter on how to prepare the different cuts of the animal — not just the fillet. Together with our chef Aurélien Mettler, they have even developed a recipe for tripe.

Their production is still very small for now, as they are currently focusing mainly on their butcher’s shop. For our breakfast buffet, however, we are already one of the few hotels in Grindelwald to source fresh cold cuts from the Dorfmetzg every day. And because good neighbours support one another: Jerry and Christine also serve our Faroese OY beer in their shop — brewed by the mother of Lars’ godchild.

The products from Jerry and Christine are available “im Tuftli” on Dorfstrasse at the Dorfmetzg Grindelwald. Their homemade sausage rolls can also be enjoyed fresh from the grill at the Kringle. Chili or cheese — which one is your favourite?
