Grandvalira - Vallnord Pal-Arinsal - Ordino Arcalís, ANDORRA

The Vallnord - Pal Arinsal , Ordino Arcalís and Grandvalira ski resorts have several restaurants and bars on the slopes where you can taste the Andorran recipes. You already have a good reason to sit down to eat during your day in the snow!

Andorran gastronomy, although it has its own dishes, also has many similarities with Catalan and French. The proximity to Catalonia means that many typical Andorran dishes are also present in Catalan mountain cuisine. It is normal being their closest neighbors!

Restaurants in Andorra offer signature cuisine with a touch of high quality mountain cuisine, where eating becomes an authentic experience. Its cuisine is based on mountain hunting and its substitutes such as sausages; in estuary fish, with trout as the main dish; and also with a lot of presence of wild mushrooms and fruit.

Grandvalira, the largest ski area in southern Europe , is also the perfect destination for lovers of good food. In addition to 210 km of slopes and snowparks, there are also 17 bars and restaurants - 12 à la carte and 5 self-service - where you can recharge your batteries after skiing or snowboarding. They come in all shapes and sizes, from charming restaurants to restaurants directly on the slopes, ideal for a quick snack before getting back on your skis.

Grandvalira (Pas de la Casa) - Cala Bassa Costa Rodona Restaurant

A restaurant that brings the essence of Ibiza to Grandvalira to savor Mediterranean cuisine with a touch of the Pyrenean climate. Here you don't have to limit yourself to eating at the tables, you can also enjoy our cuisine in our comfortable hammocks overlooking the mountains.

The other option for skiing in Andorra is to book your Ski Pass and hotel package in Vallnord. There you have two top ski resorts within easy reach: Pal Arinsal and Ordino Arcalís , where there is no shortage of options for rounding off your ski holiday with a delicious lunch or dinner.

Innsbruck, AUSTRIA

Aside from being a top destination for winter sports, the restaurants in Innsbruck are among the best reasons to travel to Austria's southwestern alpine state. Discovering its country's culture through its food is another option for you to visit. To regional taste, traditional delicacy is a part of any unforgettable ski holiday experience.

One of the glories of the Austrian Tirol is how easy it is to find a mountain restaurant serving hearty, rejuvenating meals. Some of these “huts” are ancient and creaky. Others are brand-new, but built with richly-textured wood and stone. In both you'll find local ingredients, expertly cooked – and a friendly, upbeat atmosphere. You'll also be pleasantly surprised by the prices.

The Seegrube Restaurant is located high above the rooftops of Innsbruck. The restaurant is open all year round and caters to all who enjoy Tyrolean cuisine and the fantastic views over Innsbruck.
