ENJOY A
CHARMING
SPOT OF
SWITZERLAND
Reflecting the kind
of charm that has made Switzerland a favorite of American tourists,
the Swiss Pavilion is a delightful recreation of a tiny Alpine
village.
The five building village
includes Le Chalet, an Alpine restaurant. The glittering
$2,000,000 exhibit of Swiss watch-makers is housed in three peaked
buildings reminiscent of the Alps. Another building is an Exhibit
Hall where products of Switzerland such as cheese and chocolate
are displayed and may be purchased, and where Switzerland's tourism
industry will be represented.
The Swiss Pavilion
is less than 100 yards from the Unisphere, located at the southern
end of the Swiss Sky Ride, at the corner of the Avenue of the
United Nations and Avenue of Africa.
You are invited to
sample the renowned Swiss hospitality. Right now, plan to visit
this charming spot of Switzerland at the World's Fair.

Dine
at an Alpine Restaurant
Have you ever dreamed
of dining at a real Alpine Inn? Here at Le Chalet, multilingual
Swiss waiters and waitresses in costume will serve you fondue,
fondue bourgignonne, rosti, emince de veau, Zug kirsch torte.
Here you can watch your favorite raclette being prepared
at a hearth as the fire melts a wheel of Bagnes cheese onto your
plate.
Dining at the Swiss
Pavilion is an incredible experience of being able to order a
French appetizer, a German entree, an Austrian or Italian desert
... in each case with an undefinable certain-something added
to make the meal thoroughly Swiss. The restaurant's wine cellar
will include six great wines of Switzerland never before available
in the United States.
Le Chalet has exposed interior beams,
a high pitched roof, overhanging eaves, shuttered windows and
looks for all the world like it might be nestled against the
side of a snow capped mountain. Inside, decor is typically Alpine
Swiss with burnt wood furniture made in the tiny village of Montbovon
just for the Fair.
The restaurant serves
350 on its two interior levels and also provides dining on a
terrace and on a balcony overlooking the Fair. It is open between
10 a.m. and midnight.
Prices are moderate,
dining is family style.
