Eating at high altitude
That “vertical” flavour of a mountain hut
Crystalline air, movement, relax... Perhaps these are the reasons why it seems easier to sense flavours and perfumes when you are in the mountain. Isn't it? That's why having lunch in a mountain hut at high altitude turns into a tasteful experience. The gastronomy served in the mountain huts of Fiemme is surprising thanks to its quality and originality. As a matter of facts, also over 1000 mt. asl. the rule of the zero-kilometre products applies. Furthermore, there are more and more vegetarian-friendly mountain huts, ready to welcome and satisfy this specific request.
