In these confinement times, it has become the norm to enjoy activities in the great outdoors. Being outside boosts your spirits and allows you to have fun, even under constrained circumstances. Our mountainous terrain with its natural beauty, offers countless opportunities to practise winter sports and while, right now, we cannot enjoy après- ski entertainment and delicious food in the traditional way, we do have some alternative suggestions.
The good news is that Fondissimo’s Swiss-style fondue is available for take-away on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays – a traditional après-ski treat ! What better way to warm up after a day of outdoor activity than dipping tasty morsels of food into a piping hot bouillon or melted cheese ? If you don’t have fondue equipment, no problem. Fondissimo rents out burners, dishes and forks to go along with your order.

These suggestions, while they might not be quite the same as a traditional après-ski experience, are certainly the next best thing. You have many options for enjoying a gourmet meal at home. Besides, somebody else is preparing it for you and you don’t have to spend hours in the kitchen! Enjoy your ‘alternative’ après-ski!
While it’s true the pandemic has brought many changes to our everyday lives, including the closing of restaurants (or partial closing with limited seating), the ski centers and accommodations in our region have been very creative in offering unique ways to offer facilities to feed and shelter you and your family.
Don’t have time to pack a lunch for your day of skiing? Mont Orford and Owl’s Head have come up with a solution! They’ve got foodtrucks offering a variety of hot meals, parked at the foot of their ski slopes.
It’s not so easy these days to find a nice spot for your family. While respecting the public health measures in place, the Espace 4 Saisons had the brilliant idea to offer a package for families or couples who would like to have a comfy room for the day to warm up or eat a good snack.
