Pila Mountain Restaurants
Pila’s mountain restaurants are cosy, friendly and welcoming with many opening in the evenings, offering transportation by snow cat or snow mobile. There are also plenty of informal bars serving snacks and drinks alongside some more formal restaurants.Pila’s restaurants and bars are generally conveniently located close to the top and bottom of the lifts, making it easy for mixed ability groups including non-skiers to meet for lunch. Many offer good authentic cuisine with lots of local specialities alongside ski favourites.
In common with most other Aosta Valley resorts, lunch can be a quick snack of a sandwich, burger or chips, a hearty soup, pasta or polenta dish, or a long, leisurely meal taken in either a cosy Alpine restaurant or alfresco, on a panoramic, sunny terrace.
La Baraka, at the top of the Chamole chairlift offers many traditional Aosta Valley specialities and also organises outdoor BBQ’s and evening meals. The Grand Grimod Leisse specialises in polenta dishes. The Societe is a definite favourite serving Aosta fare with a modern twist.
The Hermitage is a good self service option and the La Chatelaine is a cosy traditional ‘baita’ on the Nouva piste. The Lo Baoutson at the bottom of the Couis 2 is popular for its local specialities which include la Braserade (charcoal grilled meats) and Raclette.
