Monterosa Ski Resort restaurants & bars

Monterosa / Restaurants & bars

Both villages in the Gressoney valley have a smattering of small bars, of the good-old smoky continental style (though smoking has in fact been banned from bars and restaurants in Italy for several years). Try the Bierfall in St Jean, and Bar One in La Trinite.

The tiny Nordkapp restaurant on the main square in St Jean has a great regionally influenced menu and wines – not to be missed (and booking essential on all but the quietest nights). The Capanna Carla restaurant (tel. 0125366130), in Stafal, is an old Walser house with an unremitting emphasis on local specialities. The interior is as authentic as the game, cheese and dried meats they serve.

There are also pizzerias - Principe Pizzeria, Lo Stambecco, Risto Walserschild but most eating is in the villages hotels, whose restaurants are generally open to non residents.
