The Viking Yurt

What a perfect event spent in the company of great people at the top of the Rocky Mountain Park City ski resort. The sleigh ride was beautiful, especially coming back under the stars. The food was amazing and the service extraordinary! I have dietary restrictions, and the staff was very accommodating. We loved our night at Viking Yurt!

This is a bucket list experience! The staff was exceptional. The only thing possibly better was the atmosphere of the ride and the Yurt. This seems expensive, but it is worth every penny. I have allergies, and the chef was so understandable and made me feel so special.

The Viking Yurt is an absolutely unforgettable experience. From start to finish, every moment felt like something out of a dream. The evening began with a sleigh ride up the mountain under a sky full of stars (though I can imagine it would be just as magical with freshly falling snow). As we climbed higher, the twinkling lights of Park City spread out below, creating the most breathtaking view. What makes this experience truly special is the feeling of stepping into another world. You ride up with a group, which creates a unique sense of community, but it never feels forced. You can engage as much or as little as you want—we met some wonderful people but also had plenty of time to just soak it all in and enjoy the moment. It’s the kind of evening that feels like yours alone, something rare and magical. Inside, the Viking Yurt was pure hygge—warm, cozy, and beautifully decorated, making us feel instantly at home. The service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive, with a team that clearly takes pride in creating a perfect experience. And the food? Absolutely phenomenal. Every course was thoughtfully prepared, with rich flavors that perfectly complemented the setting. It was more than just dinner; it was an experience I’ll never forget. If you’re looking for something truly special in Park City, something you won’t find anywhere else, the Viking Yurt is it. I’d go back in a heartbeat. I almost forgot, but I had to come back and add this—the piano music and the pianist were beyond words. He played so many recognizable tunes across such a big variety of styles. I truly think there’s something for everyone, and it adds so much to the ambiance. I mean, how many restaurants have live piano music in a yurt? It’s those kinds of details that make this experience truly unforgettable.

This place is so cool with beautiful views of the frosted mountain tops. They could serve hot purn juice for all I care. The ambiance is that good. Fortunately, they actually have quite a decent menu. Fancy grilled cheese, hot fresh tomato soup, and a few other options. They even have a great selection of spirits and beers. Also, the cookies are amazing. I'd suggest ordering everything viking style. Cheers! See you at the top

Incredible night. The staff are amazing and the food is fantastic. The experience as a whole is on another level. If you're going in winter, dress warmer than you think you'll need to. It was BITTER coming down that mountain. Can't say enough good about it!

Unparalleled dining experience! If you’re looking for a very special night out, this is easily the coolest dining experience in Utah. Get taken up a mountain, enjoy a Viking themed 6 course meal, and make memories you’ll never forget. The food is amazing and each course brings interesting and delicious flavors.

One of the top holiday experiences with family and friends! The sleigh ride to the yurt is amazing! Book in advance. It sells out.

This was an experience. From the sleigh ride to the top of the mountain to the whole dinner was 100% a fantastic time. Visited while on vacation and this was one of our highlights of our trip. The food was so good and the atmosphere was breathtaking. If you ever get the chance to go you should take it.

The Viking Yurt was a LOT of fun! The sleigh ride up the mountain is beautiful. The food is delicious with ample portions. The staff is attentive and lively. There's an assortment of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. There's also live piano music. All in all, I would highly recommend for a date night or special occasion; you need to come here!

What a magical snowy adventure! The food was absolutely delicious, the staff were wonderful and the yurt was cozy! Beautiful views of the city all lit up on the way home too!

This dinner exceeded my expectations. The ride in the sled up to the yurt was incredibly magical and the food was phenomenal. Each plate was beautiful and tasted amazing. No detail was overlooked! The way the food was served, like in a rock from special Viking areas or on an aspen tree stump from the mountain. The atmosphere was especially cozy and magical. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

The Yurt is simply the best lunch spot on the mountain! Beer, food, and atmosphere are all amazing. Does anyone know what is inside the lunch cookies? They are incredible I would love make them back home

We stopped in for a quick snack while in the skis. We fell in love with this easy going but super cool ski restaurant. The food was delicious and not exepnsive. The service was simple but they bring it to you. The cookies were awesome

We were really looking forward to this and unfortunately we were a little disappointed. You start with a sleigh ride up to the yurt, which was stunning! They provide blankets but definitely bundle up. Once you get there you are to go in and find your party's name and sit at assigned seats. Now this was when we started feeling a little uncomfortable. They had 10 people per table and the seats were so close to it was hard to eat without elbowing your neighbor. In order to go to the bathroom the person next to you had to get out, it was extremely uncomfortable. The yurt itself was very warm and cozy and the staff very friendly. Now the drinks and food. There is a very limited drink menu, basically wine by the bottle or glass and limited spirits and no mixers. We had a few shots and mixed it with the glogg they give you when you arrive. It is a prefixed 6 course menu, all of which was good but not worth the price you pay. All in all it was fun but not what we expected especially given how expensive it was. We won't do it again but it is something fun to do, maybe go on a day that is less busy so you are not so crammed and uncomfortable.

The Viking Yurt offers a unique dining adventure that starts with a snowcat-pulled sleigh ride up the mountainside, leading to a cozy yurt where guests are greeted with warm mugs of glogg by the fire. Inside, the atmosphere is lively, with communal seating and live piano music enhancing the experience. Big fan of the festive ski shots, where guests line up to take shots served on a ski, adding a fun and memorable twist to the evening. The attentive staff and gourmet multi-course meal make this a must-visit spot for those seeking a distinctive and enjoyable night out in Park City.

There were parts of the experience that were great and others that weren't my personal cup of tea but I know others loved it and that's okay. The ride up and back were excellent, I felt the email to prepare you for what to wear was great and helped me decide what would be appropriate and I loved that they give you blankets. The thing I didn't love and I know it is because they just don't have the space was the fact that my husband and I were seated in between two parties of guests and found it extremely difficult to have a conversation, the piano was a lovely touch but it was right behind me so talking was pretty non existent. We started with a warm cider which was very good and offered the option to add a shot to it, I opted for wine and my husband beer. I will say no one came over the rest of the night to see if we needed any more beverages, there were only 3 servers and they were very busy but it was something I noticed and my husband didn't love. After the 4th course he gave up wanting another beverage. The food for me was excellent, every course was great and I had no complaints. I sadly was so full that eating dessert was tough but I pushed through. I did not use the outhouse but my husband did, he did warn me that I might not want to use it but I was fully aware before we went that that was the bathroom situation and they had no running water, I made sure to use the bathroom at home before we left. I think they do a good job making people aware of that before you book on their website. I think for the experience it was quite pricey and to not be able to really have a conversation with my husband was disappointing. From what I heard at the end of the night people had a blast, like I said this is just my experience and not everyone will have the same view.

The Viking Yurt is a truly special experience. The have thought of every extra touch, from fabulous live piano music to a warmly decorated yurt, to accompany an exceptional meal. The braised rib was incredible - truly melt in your mouth. My pescatarian wife was accommodated with a delicious salmon filet. Memorable!

Spectacular Yurt experience! We've done about 7 yurt hikes/dinners in the area over the years and this tops them all! They gave us warm blankets on sleigh up the mountain along epic views! Inside the yurt, Ambiance, ambiance, ambiance! Food, drinks, servers & live piano player felt like a 5 star cruise or Michelin rated restaurant. Definitely worth the price. We'll definitely be back next year, we were beyond impressed!

This was our third time experiencing the Yurt with my family. All I can say is OUTSTANDING!! From the moment we were greeted to departing everything was over the top. A big shout out to the staff who smiled from ear to ear while delivering excellent service. Five star food!! Thank you!

For the past two years I have had the Viking Yurt dinner experience on my radar. It did not disappoint. From the pick up in the village making our way up the moon shining mountain arriving at 8000+ feet. We were greeted with a warm cider which was perfect with coming in from the cold. The staff was on point and the chef came out and described the courses. The flavors of the courses were pallet pleasing.

Great experience! The sleigh ride up and down the mountain was so much fun and the lobster/salmon bisque was my favorite!

We made a point to come for lunch on one of our ski days, and it didn't disappoint! Other than the skiing runs, this is the highlight of our trip! Unique, tasty and reasonably priced lunch experience! I would have stopped by here for apres if we didn't have a kid!! But I was glad that I grabbed their cookies to go and that made the best apres san alcohol! The cookies was so good that I almost wanted to ski up just for it on the day we were leaving for the airport!

Such a beautiful sleigh ride, the most amazing view and most amazing food!! Going back next year for sure :)

We have only come here for lunch so can only review for that but we love this lunch spot on the mountain! Far less crowded than all the other dining spots further up. Great grilled cheese and tomato soup right off the lift. The best cookies! Perfect apres ski spot before you make it down to the bottom of Homerun

It was lots of fun, we had a snowy ride up and down the mountain. Dinner was very tasty with lots of tradition. We had 6 courses, lobster bisque, a salad, palate cleanser, short rib, mashed potatoes, carrots, cheese course, dessert. The piano ambiance was awesome as well!

Fabulous from the very beginning with the greeter, who was friendly and very helpful. The snow cat driver was very pleasant and helpful with all the blankets. The wait staff was wonderful, fun, attentive and informative. The 6 course meal was delicious and the piano player was fantastic. It was a wonderful from my children for my birthday and I will forever cherish the whole experience.

Based upon the variance in previous reviews, we tried to go in with an open mind. We knew that we had to give ourselves plenty of time allotted for this event (it's not just another meal folks). Our group was not disappointed. Let me start by saying that my family is very judgmental on meals when we are out. We have particular items that we always order whenever it's offered on the menu, in search of the perfect one (i.e. biscuits and gravy, Caesar salad...). From the time we checked in for the ride up to the Yurt by a smiling face until we departed back at the base, it was fun and such a neat and delicious experience. The ride up was chilly and the group was separated into 4-5 different actual groups. We passed by several people skiing uphill, and even hiking with ski boots on. When we arrived, we were greeted by one of their folks who gave us a quick rundown and we then were invited into the Yurt. We walked in and it's very quaint and cute, warm and homey. Our table was right next to the door, but that wasn't a big deal. The table was set with interesting cups and chargers, trying to maintain the Nordic theme. Food was excellent, from the salad (need a bit more dressing), the shortribs (YUM!) and the finale of the chocolate cake surprise (I can't remember the chef's description, just that it was fantastic). You won't be disappointed by Chef Steph's (Chefanie) creations. The one thing I would say is that the experience could be made better by having one more person assisting in the process of orders/plating/serving so that there's not such a long time between the first table being served to the last. I realize that this is an experience, and there are other ideas I have which they could certainly implement in order to draw the different groups together to make it even more fun, but it's not my business and they didn't ask! They had a lot of nice touches, including a live piano player who was playing songs that it seemed only my table was singing along to (quietly since no one else really was). A the end of the night, we jumped back onto the sleigh and proceeded down the mountain, stars shining, but also some wind and a bit of snow. Our experience was excellent and I gave them 5*, even with the couple of bits which didn't take away from our experience! Acouple of tips: Make sure you dress warm for the trips up/down the mountain, be mentally and socially prepared for a 3-3.5 hour meal with your tablemates, if you are wanting a 'drink', you may want to consider bringing your own bottle of wine, or if looking for something with more abv, be prepared for a very limited offering. As a whiskey drinker, the choices were really a let down, but like I mentioned before, it didn't take away from the experience. Cheers!

This place was very well done. I loved the ambience and the sleigh ride up. I thought the service was a little slow and it was very expensive but the food was very good. Based off other reviews I was expecting very poor quality food but was pleasantly surprised. The meat was falling off the bone, and the Glog was a cool thing. We had a great time and I would recommend

Overall, my family and I had a wonderful experience here. The food was delicious and "Chef Steph" is very talented. However, the one very large drawback of this is that service is verrryyyy slow. There are only five tables inside the yurt, and yet the food would come out so slowly that the first and second tables would be finished with their course before the last table was even served. There's some nice music inside and the structure is very homey and warm. Overall, would do this again (even if the same menu was served), however, I would swap placards with the first table inside just to make sure we can eat in a timely manner. I think this place would benefit from a fourth server to help plate food in the back and keep things rolling

Is it touristy? Sure. But it's not limited to only a tourist experience. Ride in a snow cat. Eat in a yurt. And let the food be influenced by Norwegian roots. The Prix Fixe menu for our evening: GLØGG - non-alcoholic berry based drink, spices. Add a shot of aquavit or whiskey to spike it. SOUP - Lobster and Salmon SALAD - Anisette Pear, Watermelon Radish, lemon & honey dressing INTERMEZZO - lemon tarragon sorbet ENTREE - Red Wine Braised Short Ribs, Jarlsberg Potatoes, Ligonberry Jus, Winter Vegetables CHEESE COURSE - 4 different offerings: * Ski-Queen Gjetost Norway's signature cheese. It's served on traditional Norwegian lefse (potato flatbread) * Barely Buzzed this Utah cheese is hand rubbed with an expresso coffee blend and lavender buds * * * Irish Porter Marbled pattern, Guiness-brewer * Tête de Moine- the Swiss monks have made is cheese for eight centuries. DESSERT - Marzipan, Valrhona Chocolate, Vanilla Cardamom Ice Cream Everything was delicious and served on pewter dishes or natural elements like rock or wood. At the beginning of the evening the chef introduces himself and the staff. You won't see him again until the end of the night. The two wait staff served everyone; they were attentive but busy. The restaurant is small. Our evening had only 8 reservations. This is definitely a limited experience!

From start to finish, the entire experience was fantastic ‼. Fortunately it was a clear sky evening so the ride up and back made for phenomenal views. The staff were so polite and accommodating in every way, and the food⁉. Absolutely delicious, every single course. That about sums it up, not a single, solitary negative in any way. Will definitely do it again on our next special occasion.

This experience isn't really my cup of tea. I went with my wife because she really wanted to go to this. The pre-check in email was really helpful in preparing for the cat ride up to the yurt. The food wasn't bad but I didn't really love anything I ate. The lobster salmon bisque was probably my favorite. The short rib was a bit of a let down and I didn't think it had much flavor. What I disliked the most was that we had to sit at a table with 6 other people we didn't know. I didn't understand this before going. The atmosphere was pretty loud inside so I could only talk to my wife by shouting over the people at our table. The group of 4 and the other couple were apparently millionaires and I just really felt out of place having to listen to their conversation. Had we not been up a snowy mountain at night I would have just walked out and left and Viking Yurt could keep its non refundable deposit. Drink prices were the same as anywhere else on the mountain. I was annoyed that the servers had to hustle so much to get food out at the rate they did that they basically never came around to refill water or take more drink orders. You have to flag the servers down to ask and when you do they make it seem like you aren't supposed to bother them with this. i got one beer when we first got there just after 6pm. Server didn't come around to ask if we wanted refills until 9pm. I really did not enjoy the 5 hour captive feeling for what felt like a more expensive medieval times. I read through reviews before posting this and saw the owner be pretty rude to people that don't love this so we will see how they respond to this. If over $500 for one dinner is a lot for you I would encourage you to go do 4-5 other dinners in PC area before trying this. If you're rich and love spending money this should be right up your alley.

Sometimes, the occasion is so special that you need it to not just be AMAZING food, but you also need it to be "AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE". When you are looking for something like this, I cannot recommend THE VIKING YURT highly enough. It is PERFECT!!! The new owner has gone all out to make this an experience that you will remember....and tell all of your friends and family about...for years to come!! Starting with a snowcat-pulled sleigh ride that I believe takes you up almost 2,000 feet with INCREDIBLE views of the Park City Ski Resort along the way. Then....when you get there, the food is TOP RATE (a first class 6-course meal)...but the EXPERIENCE is EVEN BETTER!! Get ready for a 4 hour dinner "experience". You will LOVE it!! When you want the night to be MORE than special, book your dinner at the Viking Yurt!!

Terrific on-mountain food, we had lunch here, and the grilled cheese was great, brat good, and the coconut curry soup was outstanding. And the beer and cookies were great too!

Perched among the lifts and runs of Park City mountain, this small establishment extends Norwegian hospitality to its patrons. We are repeat patrons of the Yurt and have always found the food on point and the vibe sublime. We return to lunch at the Yurt after a two year hiatus from the pandemic. Their lunch offerings are only happening on weekends, they need more help. The coconut curry soup is invigorating and I always enjoy a cup of gluvine after a few runs. Seating only 40 inside, the decor is warm and inviting and a wood stove keeps it toasty. On brighter days, bask outdoors on the "beach" and take in the amazing views. The Yurt is a treasure and it's continued success depends upon patronage and more staff! We love the team of Matt and Joseph who are making it happen!!

This was our second year visiting the Yurt - we enjoyed it so much last year, that we had to do our birthday celebration here again! The sleigh ride is chilly, yes, but not if you dress warmly. View is fantastic...once arrived, you're greeted with a warm, inviting ambiance and staff. Amber was there from last year - and equally as much fun and engaging! Manuel the piano player took our requests and has an amazing range of songs. The food is top notch - the touches e.g. using local wood, rocks from Norway for the amuse bouche, "Glogg" that can be "spiced up" - lead to a memorable evening. The ride back was convivial, and surrounded by a canopy of stars, was lovely. Thanks also to all of the snow cat staff that kept us warm and safe!

Wonderful dinner and experience for our visit to Park City, UT for a few days of skiing. After the sleigh ride up the slope to the restaurant we were seated with two other couples and had a great evening talking and enjoying the meal. All 5 courses were wonderful, from the opening grog drink to the chocolate desert. The meal was wonderful, the setting, and the company. Very much recommend the Viking Yurt to anyone who wants a great evening with food and very nice setting in Park City.

Super fun and unique experience. Great food and service. Will definitely recommend to anyone seeking a little adventure and will come back again in our next visit to Park City or Deer Valley

Such a unique and fun experience. Most times these types of things have great ambiance but the food is so-so. Not this one. Food was amazing and the service was phenomenal. Highly recommend for a fun and different night out.

Highly recommend. Yes, this is definitely a 'touristy' thing to do, but 100% worth it. When in Rome....

We went on a very cold night but with the coats, hats, gloves and the blankets that they provided we were just fine. The views were so pretty from the sleigh and it was so nice to see stars away from the city lights. The food was great and fun to experience a little bit of Norwegian culture. The staff couldn't have been more attentive. The new owners have redecorated it just perfect. We would highly recommend this great experience dining activity/dinner.

The Viking Yurt was so great! The food was amazing and we got to spend time having great conversations with our friends between courses. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The piano was a great addition to the ambience. It was snowing so the sleigh ride was extra magical. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a different experience for dinner than you are used to.

It was the most romantic date we have ever been on. It was like being in a snow globe and a hallmark movie all in one. The ride to the yurt in the snow up and down the mountain was magical. We feel like we were in Norway. The food was incredible. I will never not crave that incredible soup, gelato, or chocolate cake. The main course was decadent. Our servers Kady and Bridgett were incredible! And the pianist set a warming, fun, and romantic mood.

We love the Yurt and the ambiance is spectacular and intimate. The sleigh ride, mountain location, six course dinner and piano entertainment made the night magical.

We had a fantastic evening and were celebrating a family birthday. The ride up is beautiful and scenic and the food, ambiance, and service were great. The piano player was outstanding. I highly recommend this wonderful experience!

The entire night was really a wonderful experience. This is not for kids. The ride was cold but a lot of fun. Food service and ambiance was 4 out of 5 stars. Thank you Yurt employees!!!

The whole evening was an amazing experience from the cat drawn sleigh ride up the mountain to the last bite of dessert! The views on the way up are spectacular! The entire staff was so welcoming & super friendly not to mention a ton of fun! The meal was top notch & expertly prepared! You really get the Viking vibe over the course of the meal! I highly recommend the Viking Yurt! It is well worth the cost!!!

The Viking Yurt was so much fun. The sleigh ride/ snow cat was beautiful and the entire staff was extremely polite and attentive. The food was excellent. They provided plenty of blankets on the sleigh ride too. It was kind of hot in the actual yurt. We had to take off layers under our sweaters and shirts and ask them to open the door.

Wonderful experience. Great food, great staff. You might consider bringing your own fine wine to enhance the meal. Highly recommend this experience.

Delicious food, great service, lovely piano music, and the ride up the hill a fun event!

Talked to the business and didn't dine with them (yet) but they were very friendly -- they were good for drawing us in for our eventual meal with them. Thank you!

What a great & fun time our group had at The Viking Yurt! It's one of those adventures you must do at least once in a lifetime! The service was great & the soups were incredible!

I received a message from the new owner - she is working to improve communication and the dinners' experience! I appreciate that she took the time to reach out to me! Though we have not yet dined at the Yurt under its new management, we always had a positive experience while at the restaurant. We look forward to going back this winter :)

It was a wonderful evening! My wife and I appreciated the outstanding dinner, service and piano entertainment you provided. The food was delicious and not something we'd find in town. The serving was paced well so we could enjoy the music and conversation. Once we put on our jackets and stepped outside between courses to admire the stars and view. It is important to read the Viking Yurt information before reserving. The ride in the sleigh behind the snowcat is part of the unique experience. You must be on time because there is no way to get to the yurt otherwise and it would be rude to expect others to wait for you. The ride is worth it, especially on a clear night with no moon. If you have never seen the Milky Way or a western sky at night, this could be your chance. Even if its a cloudy night, the view of the valley is beautiful and memorable. It is cold outside but if you dress in layers for the coldest you will be much more comfortable if you have the option to take off a layer. Inside the Yurt the temperature was just right for us in sweaters. There is a place to hang up your extra layers, so bundle up. The toilets are outhouses and do require you to walk outside a short distance. They are clean and warm. We highly recommend our Viking Yurt experience to family and friends.

I had dinner here tonight for a special birthday and had the best time! The food was super good and the experience was so unique; I'll never forget it. Joy was also so accommodating and gracious and helped me meet my party at the yurt since I missed the sleigh ride up due to my flight being delayed and me arriving late. Her husband (sorry I forgot his name, but he's great!!) took me up to the yurt on his snowmobile and I was able to make it in time to have dinner with my family :) Thank you so much to Joy, her husband, the staff, and everyone involved! You're amazing and truly go above and beyond! 10/10 recommend:)

My friends and I stopped in for lunch on a ski day, and it was quite the scene. We got there at 1pm which apparently was a horrible time, because it took us 25 minutes to get a table and there was lots of arguing with other people who were there. You're just supposed to grab space and there's no line or waiting list so it was kind of a shit show. After 25 minutes though, we finally got a table together. The food was really good. My favorite was the tomato coconut soup. I also got the prosciutto sandwich which looked small, but ended up being huge and was so much food. The onion jam on it was kind of weird, but there was a really good amount of prosciutto which I appreciated. I also tried the chocolate chip cookie, which was good but honestly not as good as it looked in my opinion. My friend got the hot chocolate and I took a sip of that and it was amazing- super rich. The bathroom situation is probably the biggest downfall of this place. Straight up porta-potty.

Sleigh ride -beautiful views and so fun! The blankets actually keep you warm. Food- the lobster salmon bisque was sooo good. Everything was good. Loved the palette cleanser in a rock. Super fun experience as we were with a big group. The piano player was a perfect touch.
