01 / TRAVEL NOTES

Make room for lunch in the village

Choose a chicken or beef burger, a wrap or coffee from the current menu. This is a village café rather than an on-mountain lunch stop, so include the journey from your accommodation or slopes.

02 / TRAVEL NOTES

Check the monthly calendar

Previously checked official information listed weekday daytime service, irregular weekends, public-holiday and seasonal closures, and suspended evening service. These arrangements could not be reverified in this update. Use the current official monthly calendar and do not assume the café is available for dinner.

Previously checked official information says reservations are not accepted. Allow for a wait, ask the café about takeaway availability or sold-out dishes that day, and use its designated parking rather than another business’s spaces.

  • Check the current official monthly calendar.
  • Current changes to the previous reservation and evening-service advice remain unconfirmed.
  • Check takeaway service that day and use the café’s designated parking.
