Alternative Restaurants to Sky Bistro
The Juniper Bistro
Best for scenic dining without the gondola ride. Go for sustainable, scratch-made food with beautiful valley views on a lower mountain slope. It differs by being accessible easily by car without requiring an expensive gondola ticket.
The Bison Restaurant & Terrace
Best for premium farm-to-table dining downtown. Go for authentic local wild game served from a lively open kitchen with a rooftop deck. It differs by immersing you in the downtown avenue scene rather than a high-altitude summit.
Rundle Bar
Best for luxury views with elite drinks. Go for a magnificent, double-story stone bar framing beautiful mountain vistas inside the historic Fairmont. It differs by operating as an elegant hotel cocktail lounge rather than a summit-top restaurant.
