Swiss Mountain Hotel

If you’re travelling between Ballarat and Daylesford, be sure to stop by at the Swiss Mountain Hotel in the historic town of Blampied. Established in 1865, the beautiful weather board establishment is one of regional Victoria’s oldest licensed hotels and continues to be an enduring favourite among locals and visitors alike. Wooden ceilings and antique photographs of Blampied instil a healthy dose of nostalgia and charm while service is constantly down-to-earth and friendly. Early risers may start their day with spinach and parmesan baked eggs while diner patrons can enjoy hearty and well-portioned dishes like grilled Atlantic salmon with herb risotto and Swiss Mountain’s classic parmigiana served with bocconcini, fries and green salad.
