Alfons Biner was born into the Biner family in Zermatt at the beginning of the last century. In the 1930s he moved with his young family into the "Haus zur Brücke". He had the opportunity to acquire the bakery at that time. Over the years, the family grew and the business did aswell. In the 1960s, two of his sons took over the bakery business. The Haus zur Brücke remained an important meeting place for all of Alfons Biner's descendants in the years that followed, as his parents continued to live there. As our grandma Gertrud used to say: "The 'Haus zur Brücke' symbolizes the bridge between the generations". Towards the end of the century, the third generation took over the bakery, which they successfully managed until 2019. 

However, the Haus zur Brücke has suffered badly over the years and therefore had to be renovated from scratch.
