On the mountain, the Albion Basin amid Alta’s family and intermediate skiing offers a modern cafeteria called the Albion Grill serving hearty skier food. There is indoor and outdoor seating and the cafeteria has fabulous views. For a quick caffeine fix ski to Alta Java’s window for specialty coffee and espresso. Alf’s restaurant at mid-mountain at the base of Supreme and Sugarloaf lifts also has indoor and outdoor seating, and is the place for hamburgers and grilled sandwiches.
Watson Shelter is the biggest facility, a three-storey building located mid-mountain off the Collins Lift. The entry-level houses Watson Shelter and Baldy Brews for hot drinks, beers, and chocolates. The Watson Cafe on the middle level is famous for excellent grass-fed beef burgers while the top floor Collins Grill is a fine dining, full-service European mountain bistro-grill-style establishment with first-class wines and spirits plus a ‘young skier’ menu on request.
The aforementioned Goldminer’s Daughter is a favorite apres ski destination and serves local beer and generous serves of pizza and beer. Great atmosphere. Grab a quick snack at Slopeside Cafe and Joe. As the lodges include dinner in their packages most people eat where they are staying, although, of course, it is possible to book into the surrounding lodges should you want to try something different.
