The ultimate treat Grand Resort Bad Ragaz<br />

Tempting tradition<br />

The original recipe for the “Grand Truffe“<br />

was created more than 50 years ago in the<br />

patisserie of the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz.<br />

Since that time, the sweet secret has<br />

been closed guarded and passed on from<br />

Chef Patissier to Chef Patissier. Over the<br />

years, the «Grand Truffe» has been enriched<br />

and masterfully perfected with ever<br />

better ingredients. We make it using only<br />

the finest natural ingredients. Today the<br />

chocolate truffle gâteau, a speciality of the<br />

hotel, is a unique culinary creation and the<br />

perfect choice for any occasion or as a gift.<br />

In response to its great popularity, we have<br />

travel-proofed our «Grand Truffe» so that<br />

you can enjoy a little piece of heaven wherever<br />

and whenever you like.<br />

Available in our Shop «CadEau» or<br />

from the Online Shop at<br />

www.resortragaz.ch<br />

DELECTABLE CAKE BUFFET<br />

The warmth of an open fire, the tempting<br />

sweet varieties of homemade cakes and<br />

pastries, piano music and the tantalising<br />

aroma of fresh coffee. Simply irresistible.<br />
