"Perched just under 12,000 feet on Telluride Mountain—the second‑highest restaurant in North America—this Dolomites‑inspired refuge serves wagyu paninis, lobster cavatelli, and an extensive wine list; I bask on the deck under heat lamps on a bluebird day, or tuck into the cozy European hut when it snows. It’s winter‑only for lunch and dinner, and after dark you arrive by snowcat." - Elise Taylor
