Classic cocktails and creative concoctions
Whether you love to be adventurous or prefer old fashioned flavours, our onsite bar combines effortless style with vintage ski décor to create a relaxing, warm atmosphere for you to indulge in a tipple or two. Our skilled mixologists can offer you some of the most well-respected classic cocktails, or something a little more creative – and if you can’t find a cocktail that speaks to you on our menu, we can rustle up something off-menu too! We also offer an exquisite list of fine wines, spirits, beers and soft drinks.
All of our set menus are available to view ahead of time to allow you to plan your trip in advance, and we also offer room service from 7:00am – midnight for those quiet nights in.
