Eat: starry experiences with chef Andrea Berton

Chef Andrea Berton (1 Michelin star at Berton Milano restaurant and 1 Michelin star at Berton al Lago restaurant) takes care of the gastronomic offer of all the Super G outlets; cafeteria, fast food area and obviously the restaurant.

On track (rather than in the kitchen) a kitchen brigade is ready to give shape and form to the inspiration of the superb chef. The goal is to create dishes in tune with the spirit of the mountain and the Super G, bringing to the table a series of delicious and fun proposals.

Ride: a universe around skiing

Outside there are three exclusive Open Air Spaces:

  • Ferrari Terrace where, in addition to the famous Italian bubbles, you can enjoy fish crudités in the fish bar overlooking the mountains;
  • Terrace Veuve Clicquot, the kingdom of aprèsski: beat & champagne at high altitude, to close the day in beauty on the slopes, with DJ sets that begin in the early afternoon and accompany guests until sunset;
  • Solarium MINI, where you can have a cocktail, enjoying sunshine, relaxation and great music. All this is possible thanks to the excellent collaboration between RDS and MINI, which will bring throughout Italy the unique atmosphere of the Super G.

A new entry is also RoyalSunday, a new format by RoyalBliss for those who want to dance during Sunday lunch (during the whole season).

Sleep: in pole position on the slopes

One of the added values of the Super G is to guarantee its guests an extraordinary opportunity: to be the first to arrive on the slopes! Then, when the crowds arrive, you can return to the base for a lunch on the terrace, a relaxing massage or a stop at the solarium.

A true dream for every skier, which becomes reality thanks to the possibility of sleeping at the Super G.

Eight rooms are available, two of which are suites, with an elegant and functional design, real dream alcoves, all dedicated to famous people (such as Enzo Ferrari, Nikola Tesla, David Bowie, Coco Chanel, Banksy).

Super G offers a very well equipped kids area too. This year is designed by Discovery, with its channels K2 and Frisbee. There is a series of on-demand services, starting with a wellness area with sauna, chaise longue, reaction shower and herbal tea room. This area is a unique space designed for a relaxing experience for couples, but also for recovery after a day of winter sports.

Super G: history and inventors

Result of a memorable experience in Canada in 2012, Super G – the Italian Mountain Club is a unique reality. Inside you will find a boutique hotel, a bar, a gourmet restaurant, a spa and a large terrace for après ski.

Inaugurated in 2013 at Plan Chécrouit, during the arrival of the ski facilities, Super G was born from an idea of Andrea Baccuini, entrepreneur and strategic consultant for several Italian companies, and Giacomo Sonzini, Managing Partner of CelticAsset Management. The winning formula? The same creators tell us about it:

“Generate good vibes to leave good memories.”
