Mountain Meal

The best way to have dinner in the mountains is by climbing up in a piste basher and eating at the top of the slopes in the deep snow!


A wee while ago we jetted off to Andorra for a week on the slopes and whilst we were there we decided to try out the Mountain Meal. A piste-basher picked us up from the village and climbed up to the top of the slopes for dinner in a mountain restaurant.

This is the best kind of transport to dinner!

You don't usually get to have a go in the big monster that prepares the pistes so it was really fun to climb up into the cabin and set off up the slope! We ploughed through the deep snow and it was even falling really heavily all around us making it quite an adventure!

Soon the restaurant lit up and was in sight.
We hopped down from the cab and kicked about in the powder until we bundled into the restaurant.


Perched at the top of the mountain the circular windows showed the snow falling, glittering against the nighttime sky - so pretty! The restaurant was really nice and had a lovely relaxed atmosphere and ski vibe to it.


We ordered drinks and then relaxed into the setting before a gorgeous plate of smoked salmon arrived. It was delicious and the prefect start to the meal.



Next up, classic for top ski restaurant - a huge slab of meat! It was perfectly cooked and the sauce was amazing. This is exactly what you need to fill you up after a hard day on the slopes.



Dessert was probably my favourite. A sticky toffee, warm apple pudding, drizzled with delicious sauce and dollop of cream. I savoured every mouthful.



Once we'd cheers-ed over the lat sip of wine it was back into the piste-basher to make our way back down the mountain.


It was so much fun to do something different for dinner!


The piste-basher ride was a really unique experience and was just really exciting! And then to eat all the way at the top of the slopes was just lovely. I'm over taxis, I want to take a piste-basher through the snow for every meal out!
