Celebratory Dinner at 4Eck
At 6:30 pm, the day culminates with a four-course dinner at 4Eck Restaurant. The menu emphasizes local Bavarian cuisine, served with wine pairing options or non-alcoholic drinks if preferred. Water and coffee are included, rounding out the experience. The restaurant’s reputation for fine dining adds a sophisticated finish to your mountain adventure, making it an ideal setting to toast your commitment or simply enjoy a romantic meal.
What’s Included and What’s Not
The price covers nearly everything you’d want for a memorable day: a wedding planner guide, professional photos, gondola tickets, champagne, rose petals, and the flavorful four-course meal. The experience is quite comprehensive for the cost, especially considering the personal service and high-quality photos.
However, transportation to and from your lodging isn’t included, so you might need to arrange that separately. Also, drinks like cocktails or spirits at the restaurant are paid on-site, which is a common practice but worth noting for budget planning.
The Logistics and Practicalities
Your guide will inform you of the exact proposal location after booking, depending on weather and gondola schedules. This flexibility is helpful, as mountain weather can be unpredictable. The activity is private, limited to your group, and designed for couples seeking intimacy and a personalized experience.
Notably, the tour is not suitable for individuals with mobility impairments, heart problems, or a fear of heights, given the outdoor mountain setting and gondola ride. Also, travelers are advised to bring hiking shoes and jackets, reflecting the outdoor nature of the experience.
