Alpenrose - Review - Vail Village - Vail - The Infatuation

"There are a lot of restaurants, bars, and spaces in Vail that try to emulate the Alps. Alpenrose, a German-Austrian restaurant that opened in 1974, does it most convincingly. It’s still going strong with a great list of Oktoberfest steins and Paulaner pils, fresh-baked pretzels, and plates of rosti. In the winter, reserve a private gondola cabin outside the restaurant for a raclette and fondue dinner. The cabins were brought over from Italy and Austria and come equipped with their own Bluetooth speakers, a small heater, and a dimming light switch for an extra cozy evening." - Kim Fuller
