The Bakery – Patisserie

Schröder Bakery, renowned throughout the Leventina Valley, is based in Chiggiogna, right where the Gottardo Restaurant and Campground is located.

Established by Bruno and Martha Schröder and currently run by their son Renato with his wife Crocetta, it is mostly engaged in specialty baking (spampezie, macaroons, etc.) in addition to bread making.

You can buy bread directly in the workshop below the restaurant or at the kiosk.

History

Back in 1963, Bruno and Martha Schröder, originally from the German-speaking part of Switzerland, rented a small bakery with restaurant in Airolo. They attended courses to learn Italian and to obtain the license to run a restaurant.

Seeing their desire to move to Middle Leventina, they left the Cristallina Restaurant and bought a single-family house with an attached campsite in Chiggiogna.

In 1982 for the sake of convenience they decided to expand the Chiggiogna facility, building a new bakery and restaurant. Since that day, the company has settled down permanently until today, where it presents itself with three workers, an apprentice and two drivers.
