Ristorante Almboden, In Valle aurina

Always good for an affordable lunch break! Not the perfect, beautiful ski lodge; the target clientele is more school groups and holiday camps. Therefore, it's set up more like a cafeteria. The food tastes good, but: far too crowded at peak times! You can easily end up waiting in line for 30 minutes for your food. And it's inconvenient that the "bar" and "restaurant" are clearly separated at first glance, with "bar" seemingly referring only to alcoholic drinks. When I then saw a 20-minute wait at the bar for my Coke and also drinks at the till during the 30-minute food line, I was a bit annoyed. Outside of peak lunch times, however, it's recommendable for a quick snack at a fair price.

It gets very crowded and noisy, especially during the ski season, as many school groups are there on their ski trips. It's a relatively good and inexpensive mountain hut with large portions! (One portion of hut macaroni is easily enough for two people.)
