I had a very refreshing beer here after a lovely hike up. Incredible view. Loved the old dog and cat keeping an eye on punters

Cash only - sure you are in the mountains. Sit on the terrace, use the toilets - sure it’s only for guests. There must be some strange people giving one star reviews for this lovely place with friendly owners. The signs must be for those people with bad manners.

Simple hut with pre-packed snacks, hot and cold bottled drinks. Good service and amazing view for a break! And a very cute dog running around the fields!

Bring cash. 7F buys a nice cold lager with a perfect view. People complaining in other reviews deserve to hike up here with a crate of beer.
