A Once-in-a-Year Culinary Journey from the Swiss Alps, Tailored for Gulf Tastes
This autumn, one of Switzerland’s most prestigious resorts—Bürgenstock Resort Lake Lucerne—invites guests from across the Gulf to experience a truly unforgettable evening of fine dining and Swiss elegance. On Saturday, October 4, 2025, the sixth edition of Chefs United – Chef Wehrle & Friends will bring together Switzerland’s top chefs from the iconic Alpine destination of Zermatt for a once-in-a-year celebration of culinary mastery.
Set 500 meters above Lake Lucerne and surrounded by panoramic views of the Swiss Alps, Bürgenstock Resort is part of the Bürgenstock Collection, proudly owned by Katara Hospitality of Qatar. The resort has become a preferred destination for discerning travelers from the GCC, known for its blend of Swiss precision, warm service, world-class wellness, and discreet luxury.
Taking place at the resort’s stunning Lakeview Ballroom, the Chefs United event offers a rare opportunity to experience 14 live cooking stations curated by eight celebrated chefs from Zermatt, all under one roof. Guests will enjoy a multi-sensory journey that captures the essence of Swiss gastronomy—presented with flair, creativity, and international sophistication.
“For this edition of Chefs United, we are proud to bring the spirit and flavor of Zermatt to Bürgenstock,” said Mike Wehrle, Corporate Culinary Director of Bürgenstock Resort. “It is a reunion of passion and expertise, hosted in one of the most spectacular settings in the world. And for guests from the Gulf region, it’s a unique opportunity to discover the best of Switzerland in an environment that offers both privacy and indulgence.”
This year’s event holds particular significance as it brings together not only Switzerland’s top culinary talent, but also Bürgenstock Resort’s Managing Director, Chris Franzen, who is originally from Zermatt and brings a personal touch to this collaboration.
Beyond the event, guests from the GCC are encouraged to extend their stay and enjoy the full Bürgenstock experience: luxurious suites overlooking the lake, an expansive 10,000 sqm Alpine Spa, and a diverse range of activities that are perfect for families, couples, and wellness-focused travelers. The resort’s serene setting, crisp autumn air, and exclusive hospitality make it an ideal destination for a seasonal getaway.
