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.

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.

              Very good experience. The gondolas were not cold because they are heated, so it was a great time. The food was great and it came on time. It was a prefixed meal so it was perfect for the experience. However, the desserts were not good at all. Very plain and simple. But expensive.

              The gondola was a cute experience and a must try if you are able to snag a reservation! The service and ambiance was excellent and good was great! It is European-style raclette, so don’t expect a lot of seasoning. It is a bit snug in the gondola with the table taking up most of the room. One note, it is a lot of food for 2 people but I understand why it could not be enough food for 3-4 people, depending on hunger levels. If you are with 3-4 people, it would be best to get additional add-ons.

              We did the Gondala experience as a family of 4. Watch your head as you get in. Our cooking grill failed twice. The temperature of grill was not hot enough - the meat stewed! We only chose this as open table had it as 1# as fun experience- you cook your own food on a terrible cooking appliance and eating stewed meat was not fun. Food wise there was very little. Left hungry! Not good value at all. At $70 plus tax per person!

              It’s pretty pricey but in my opinion it’s totally worth it. It’s a LOT of food and it’s such a cute experience too. our server Yves was amazing and he made the experience that much better, highly recommend!
