Imagine this: you’re perched atop a mountain peak, surrounded by a panorama of snow-capped giants, the crisp air invigorating your lungs. Below you, slopes shimmer in the sunlight, while the world stretches out in a breathtaking tapestry. Now picture yourself enjoying a delectable charcuterie board and a glass of wine, the perfect complement to this awe-inspiring scene.

Welcome to Il Rifugio, the highest-elevation restaurant in North America, nestled at a dizzying 12,456 feet above sea level at Arapahoe Basin Ski Area in Colorado. This European-style bistro isn’t just about the food, though they certainly deliver with their carefully curated selection of charcuterie boards, flatbreads, and delectable desserts. It’s about the unforgettable experience of dining literally above the clouds.

Whether you conquer the slopes on your skis or snowboard or take a scenic ride on the Lenawee Mountain Lift, the journey adds to the anticipation. Stepping into the cozy, inviting space, you’ll be greeted by the warmth of the fireplace and the aroma of freshly baked pastries. Large windows offer panoramic views that will leave you speechless, making every bite even more memorable.

But the magic of Il Rifugio goes beyond the stunning visuals. Their menu, inspired by the fresh, local ingredients of the region, features an array of delectable options. Savor a selection of cured meats and cheeses from Colorado paired with a glass of wine chosen by their knowledgeable staff. Indulge in a steaming bowl of their signature crab and corn chowder, perfect for warming you up after a day in the snow. Or, share a delicious flatbread pizza with friends, the perfect way to fuel up for your next adventure.

So, if you’re looking for an adventure that combines breathtaking scenery, delicious food, and a touch of European charm, look no further than Il Rifugio. Just remember, reaching new heights requires a little effort, but the reward at the top is truly unforgettable.
