"I’ve had ribs all over, but these were on another level—hands down the best I’ve ever tasted! Perfectly tender, packed with flavor, and cooked to absolute perfection. Every bite was an experience. Compliments to the chef and the entire team for an unforgettable meal..

È un rifugio molto accogliente dove puoi fare colazione, uno spuntino o pranzare. Dopo aver sciato, mi sono fermato per una pausa e ho preso una crostatina di frutta con crema. Era super buona, con ingredienti freschi e genuini! L'ambiente è piacevole, perfetto per rilassarsi e ricaricare le energie. Il personale è cordiale e disponibile. Se siete in zona, consiglio di fare una sosta

Allora. Per raccontare al meglio la nostra esperienza mi devo soffermare su di un particolare... Ordiniamo due birre giusto per un passo e via... Erano le undici del mattino... Il proprietario con gentilezza sublime ci avvicina e ci aggiunge patatine crostini e salsa.... Davvero accoglienza cortesia e gusto legati ad una attenzione che appaga. Allora... Si finisce per pranzare e stare in compagnia di amici mentre fuori comincia finalmente a nevicare. Le pietanze al ristorante arrivano dopo pochi minuti. Io personalmente scelgo una tagliata di pollo e della polenta. Due pietanze servite ben calde e con buona presentazione. Scendo giù in bagno dove trovo un ambiente pulito e dei lavabi di originale fattura (legno). Al mio ritorno, trovo sul tavolo dei tramezzini per aiutarci a mandare giù la restante buona doppio malto chiara... che consiglio a tutti... Non amo parlare del costo in quanto lo ritengo sempre giusto quando il risultato è legato a cortesia qualità e accoglienza. Io lo consiglio a tutti. Davvero cinque stelle meritate.

Cibivacco è un angolo di paradiso…entrando, si viene subito accolti da un ambiente caldo e familiare. Il menù offre una selezione di piatti tipici montani preparati con ingredienti freschi e locali. La polenta e le specialità di carne come anche i dolci fatti in casa sono solo alcune delle prelibatezze che fanno venire l’acquolina in bocca. Il tutto è accompagnato da una selezione di vini che si sposano perfettamente con i piatti, rendendo ogni pasto un’esperienza unica. Dopo una giornata di escursioni o semplicemente di relax, questo posto è il luogo ideale per ricaricare le energie, godendo della serenità che solo la montagna sa offrire. Consigliato a chi desidera vivere un’autentica esperienza montana, lontano dalla frenesia quotidiana.
