The gondola is exclusively reserved for our group and operates in three waves, with around 20 participants per ride. For those waiting for their departure, a warm welcome apéro will be served at the valley station.

Upon arrival at the mountain station, it is only a very short walk of around 30 steps to reach Chesa Marguns. The evening promises a cosy, wintry atmosphere surrounded by snow, offering an authentic Alpine experience across two charming floors. Please note that warm, sturdy footwear is essential due to the winter conditions.
