This is a Ski resort in the winter and in the summer you can hike to the top and Gondola back down. Fun times and stunning views! This is not for the feint of heart, the hike is quite gruelling even though it only takes about an hour if you are in good shape and in your 30s.

Food Scene
A great culinary experience. They do not take reservations though so show up at least 15min before they open if you want a chance at being seated immediately. Waiting isn't all bad though since you can grab a drink and they often walk around giving away bits of food while you wait - your choice!
