If you are looking for something that you can’t find elsewhere the Viking Diner Yurt might just be what you are looking for.

To start the evening you will take a sleigh ride up the ski slope to the top of the ridge at an 8,000-foot elevation. Being on top of mountain made up of a deep pine forest at night is absolutely breath taking and as you move closer to the Yurt you’ll be able to hear the live piano music coming from inside. The Norwegian hospitality that the Yurt is known for will quickly surround you as you gather around long wooden tables dressed with glowing candles and pewter dinnerware. With delicious aromas all around you, you’ll enjoy an elegant Scandinavian meal that will fulfill all your senses. When you’ve finished your meal, you’ll ride the sleigh back down the mountain as you stare up at the star filled sky. The experience you have at the Yurt will be a cherished memory for years to come.
