There's nothing that quite compares to the experience of sharing a meal.

The Raclette Grill & Fondue Combo is designed for a fun and delicious family dinner.
A variety of foods can be cooked at one time, opening up the door for creativity and encouraging entertaining.
While food sizzles under the grill, meat or vegetables can be searing on top, and a bubbling pot of beef broth is ready and waiting for you and your guests to dip in their creations.

Join us for a unique private Gondola Dining Experience, located on the back patio of Alpenrose Restaurant in Vail, CO. Please note: It is a stationed Gondola, not a moving gondola.

Our gondola cabins were recruited in South Tyrol, shipped to Austria for interior design and improvements, to the Black Forest for the final touches on the outside and after a long journey eventually found its way to Vail, CO.

    The Gondola Experience is one to not miss out on. Great experience, ambience, food, and service! It’s a very intimate setting and great for couples or even friends to gather and enjoy. Put on the speaker and enjoy your time.

    I think there was a bit of a language barrier in terms of a stationary gondola vs a meal sitting in a moving (view) gondola. The gondola had a pretty strong gondola smell and a lil stuffy. They did give us a Bluetooth enabled device to play our own music which was nice. It was an enormous amount of food served which was almost comical. We offered to pay the regular price as it was pre fixe, but to just bring less quantity of food so as not to waste it. They really couldn’t understand this and we sat there dumb struck at food spread before us. It was generally pretty good just so overwhelming. Overall not worth it. There’s no way a sane human can eat all this or enjoy it. We are sitting in a stationary gondola with zero air circulation and quite honestly the food was just for show— nothing particularly special or memorable. Service was friendly. Not a luxury or cozy experience but maybe super fun for kids or a group just looking to do something cute. Definitely not worth the money we spent. One thing that was gross was the giant food tray was carried over by a girl whose hair was dipping into the food. Totally unhygienic and since there was too much anyway, we didn’t touch it.
