On the mountain, Koflers Hütte pairs home cooking with coffee and apple pie. In the Village Square, Cattleman’s Café is a handy meeting place for a quick meal.

For dinner, share Australian-inspired plates at Black Cockatoo or try Kaptan’s at Pension Grimus for Austrian-influenced cooking. At Breathtaker, Signature Restaurant offers seasonal dining experiences. Check each venue’s winter service.

APRÈS-SKI & NIGHTLIFE

Start at the Kooroora Hotel in the village for an Australian pub meal and a drink. Stay for dancing when it is on the program, or meet at Herbie’s Bar at Pension Grimus for a smaller lodge setting. Cattleman’s in the Village Square works for a coffee before heading home.
