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 />
