There’s nothing quite like a warm cup of coffee on a cool mountain morning. The air is crisp, the sun is peeking over the treetops, and the quiet hum of anticipation buzzes through the resort. As the village slowly wakes up, skiers click into boots during winter or ready their mountain bikes during the summer. As the lifts start to turn, there’s one perfect place to begin the day: The Lift Café. Whether you’re gearing up for a day on the slopes or simply soaking in the serene alpine vibe, that first sip of expertly brewed coffee in the heart of the mountains is pure magic.
