Après Ski

Vigilius Mountain Resort offers a refined culinary experience with two main on-site venues: the Restaurant 1500, known for its panoramic views and creative South Tyrolean cuisine crafted from local, organic ingredients, and the more casual Stube Ida, which serves traditional Alpine dishes in a cozy, wood-paneled setting. The resort emphasizes sustainability and seasonality, with menus curated to highlight regional flavors and artisanal products. Guests can enjoy a selection of fine wines from the surrounding Alto Adige region, and the bar provides a tranquil space for après ski drinks, featuring local spirits and inventive cocktails. While the resort itself is secluded and accessible only by cable car, guests seeking additional après ski or dining options can venture to Lana, a short ride away, where they’ll find acclaimed restaurants such as Miil, set in a historic mill and offering modern Alpine cuisine, and Oberwirt, renowned for its gourmet South Tyrolean fare. The resort’s serene mountain setting is ideal for those seeking a peaceful après ski atmosphere, with opportunities for fireside relaxation and wellness-focused experiences rather than a bustling nightlife scene.
