The best Apres Ski in the Plan de Corones area. Stop during the day for a vin brulè (mulled wine)…read moreor a schnaps, and get on the dance floor with ski boots at the end of the day. They also have a pizzeria and serve food on both lunch and dinner, but the most fun is in the afternoon.

One of the best Skihütten I have been to. Great view, Good food, great drinks, nice lounge music…read more Nice place to hang out after hitting the slopes or just for a break for Lunch. Can get quite busy, might be a good idea to book if you are a big group. Had the steak salad for lunch and wasn't expecting such good quality. Looking forward to my next stop there.

the BEST place ever in the mountains. I did a ski season in…read moreKaltenbach, so this kinda became my local while skiing on the mountain. This place has it all - 4 star hotel, which have massive suites based 2,300m above sea level, overlooking endless mountains. It also has hotel and massive, restaurant, bar...everything! Firstly - Drinking Snowing? sit inside with the wamr blazing, open-air fire place. The comfy cushions surrounded and drink some jaegertee or gluwein! Its great to get in from sometimes minus 15 temperatures and blazing winds Sunny? Endless options. It has an outdoor terrace where a DJ is often playing. House/electronic music. Really well suited to everyone chilling out. They have a patio that goes over the mountain edge and is blocked by glass, so you get great views. They have tables and chairs, but also beds to lay down with blankets - seriously, ive seen people just spend all day here. But they also have bean bags and sun deck chairs you can take onto the snow, as this place gets super busy (peak times xmas and new year and austrian/german school holidays). Prices: pretty standard on the mountain at all the main places. a pint is 4.40€. if you tip or the waiters/bartenders are just in the mood, you will get free schnapps shots - prepare your liver for Austria! Secondly - Eating Thank goodness for skiing every day, because if I didn't I would be massively fat from all the lush and massive food you get. The food is quite well priced, depending on what you want or splurge on: Basic/Low price - Soup or desert. They have really great soups in Austria, here its about 5.5€ for soup and piece of bread - cheese, gulash or noodle - they are all delicious and when its cold, this is just devine They also have deserts, its like pancakes and strudel mixed together that comes with jam compotes. Different flavours and hot, about the same price for soups Higher prices - You get massive portions and you are talking starting at 12€ - schnitzel, pasta - plus they do daily deals. Its all amazingly tasty. Thirdly - staff & atmosphere The staff are amazing, you will meet Verena, Stefan and their cute daughter Sophia who own and run this place. They aren't afraid to work and pitch in and super friendly. As I said the staff are all great and all speak fluent English (ok most of them do), but they definitely have no problem drinking while working. Expect for their events they have on, people to get a little crazy and dancing on tables (very funny with people and ski boots). But overall recommend to visit here if going to this mountain and if you have the money - stay here! Also you can ski straight back to the main lift and get home - so you can stay as long as you want (just be weary the main lift does stop and sometimes there isn't enough snow to ski all the way to the valley bottom!)

Rifugio Plan Boe is a typical mountain hut which is about 1km above Arabba on the main ski piste…read moreback into the village in the winter and at the end of a gravel trail leading up towards the Sella Massif in the summer. Inside it is a rustic building, clad in wood with low ceilings and a small back room. The service is quick and friendly and the food, although expensive is always large in size. They serve a range of pasta, meat and snack dishes and the pastas are always a winner. The drink selection is good too and it's the stopping point for many a skier in winter before heading back into the village to carry on drinking at another bar. Generally frequented by Germans in the main but you'll find English guests in there amused by the German après-ski antics.

mattthomas0 has already given an excellent description of Rifugio Plan Boe. The only things I want…read moreto add after three years: - English guests are meanwhile participating at the German/Dutch après-ski antics. They are really great singer and actors. - At 5 p.m. on fridays (I'am not sure whether it is every friday) they serve free delicious pasta out of a hollowed out parmesan cheese wheel. Before and after they serve the pasta you can spectate 2 girls table dancing. It's a good place for lunch. It's is also a good place if you want to have some après-ski fun after a skiing day before dinner. Keep in mind you can't expect real après-ski in Arabba.
