Irma Dütsch is regarded as the undisputed “Grande Dame de la Haute Cuisine” and became one of the very first women in Switzerland to train as a chef and make her mark in this traditionally male domain.

She ran the famous Restaurant Fletschhorn in the Swiss town of Saas-Fee with her husband Hans-Jörg for more than 30 years, and in 1994 was also the first woman in Switzerland to win the title “Cuisinière de l’année”.

Since then, Irma Dütsch has been in constant demand as an international guest chef.   The event was part of the anniversary celebrations of Swissotel Hotels & Resorts, which marks its 30th birthday this year.
