This experience is designed for those who appreciate the raw, authentic beauty of nature and the simple joy of a meal shared over an open flame. • The Journey: Guided by powerful draft horses, you’ll glide through snow-dusted forests where the only sounds are the horses' breath and the soft crunch of the sleigh runners.

You’ll grill savory local sausages and thick, smoky bacon directly over the fire, watching as they sizzle to perfection. • The Artisan Pairings: Complement your rustic meal with freshly baked artisan bread, thick slices of crisp onion, and traditional condiments that bring out the deep, smoky flavors of the meat. • The Atmosphere: Between bites, wrap your hands around a mug of hot spiced wine or forest tea. The combination of the cold mountain air, the intense heat of the fire, and the hearty, traditional fare creates a sensory memory that stays with you long after the snow melts. This isn’t just a lunch; it’s an invitation to reconnect with the old ways of the mountain.
