Mulled wine is nice. Favorite lodge on the mountain, has a much more "cozy cabin" vibe, rather than a busy cafeteria one like many others. Staff seem relaxed and friendly. Good food options, quiet, great window view.

Comfortable place on a cold and windy summit! Loved getting toasty and then skiing all the way back down.

Special thank you to the friendly staff who notified us of a rare out-of-circulation bill we had, and told us to save it as a memento! Really pleasant stop and highly recommend visiting and taking your time.

Very cute Cafe almost at the top of the mountain.
You have to take a couple of lifts to get here.

The view is gorgeous and definitely worth it.

The food choice of food is limited but good enough for a quick bite.

Pilar is a cafe and an authentic Italian restaurant located at an elevation of 1,680m adjacent to one of quad lift stations of HAPPO-ONE ski resorts. This time I had a course lunch starting with minestrone soup loaded with fresh veggies, followed by poare of tilefish/mussels and desserts. All the foods were exquisite and you cannot believe you are at the top of a mountain. The sauce of the main is very sophisticated. If you are visiting HAPPO-ONE for skiing trip, don't miss an opportunity of visiting this restaurant.
