Previously it was the pool area of the hotel long ago...(if the hotel was still a hotel and not a hostel). every season different people use, but always relaxed, friendly. Make sure you have a reservation, sunny days when you want to set the day on the terrace. solid food, typical of kanton grisons (capuns et al,) good basis for a long ski day. do not expect light, healthy kitchen. the restaurant could work on the wine selection, but...standard choice without much creativity, already for years "0815 in Swiss German".

But how to find Capalari in the complexity of the middle-station cable-car building? OK you find somewhere to leave your skis and sticks, hoping they are too old and scarred...to be worth someone else nicking; but then it’s a long tramp around various levels both internal and external with no clear signage before it appears. But it is worth the search; and we spread ourselves around a large square rustic table and enjoyed a wide variety of things from the menu washed down with reviving lager. It was someone else’s turn to pay so I cannot tell if it was very expensive or merely eye-watering! But I would cheerfully return (and intend to before the season finishes). And red run 64 brought me safely back to the valley and the (amazingly well coordinated) bus and train back to Zurich.
