The Path
Since 2016, Stefan Beer has held the Executive Chef post at Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa in Interlaken, a position that places the kitchen in direct conversation with its alpine setting. The work reads as close to the source: food shaped by what the region gives, by season, and by the discipline required to keep that relationship clear on the plate. The role calls for more than authority. It asks for consistency, a measured hand, and the ability to keep a large kitchen aligned around a seasonal brief.
The Work Today
At Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa, the kitchen under Stefan Beer has been built around restraint, freshness, and a direct reading of the local environment. The approach does not push past its context; it works within it, letting the produce and the moment set the terms. That kind of cooking depends on precision and on confidence in ingredients as they arrive, with the finished plate carrying clarity rather than excess.
