taken to some of the wonderful ‘rifugi’ (mountain
huts) that litter the ski area. Here you can choose from a great
selection of traditional meals to simple sandwiches and soups.

because the area is so vast and the opportunity so large to
sample some wonderful places and dishes. All food, from sandwiches
