Telesilla Café, at Valgrande-Pajares

On the slopes

The Telesilla Café is the catering centre of the lower area of Valgrande-Pajares: it is at the foot of the slopes, opposite the chairlift and next to the upper car park. The resort describes it as a spacious place, with a dining room upstairs for sit-down meals and, on the ground floor, a quick takeaway sandwich service. It has a sun terrace. It is run by the same house as the Telesilla Accommodation, with seven double rooms with bathroom, and the Toribión hostel.

What you eat and how much it costs

It is a resort café: breakfasts, sandwiches, hot dishes and a set menu. The house published these rates, VAT included, in the 2023-2024 season:

Hours

In the 2025-2026 season the resort published hours of 8:30 to 18:00 every day, and on Saturdays until 23:00. Outside the ski season there are no published hours: ask before going up. The accommodation's telephone is 985 92 62 64 and the email, [email protected]. The resort's general telephone is 985 957 097.

If you want to sleep right there

The Telesilla Accommodation, from the same house, has seven double rooms with a full bathroom. In the 2023-2024 season it published the single at €50 for the first night and €45 from two, and the double at €80 and €70, VAT included. Check-in is from 18:00 and check-out before 12:00; pets are not allowed and a 50% deposit by transfer is required. Having dinner and breakfast in the café downstairs is the most convenient if you sleep there.

The other café, up top

At the top, above 1,800 metres, is the Cueto Negro café, with a mountain interior and large windows. It serves sandwiches and set menus, and the resort boasts that it has some of the best views in Asturias. Some days a small stand with a terrace is also set up on the slope itself. If you ski all day up there, Cueto Negro saves you going down to the base.

What to combine it with

The café is the natural stop on a day at Valgrande-Pajares, whether you ski alpine or come for the cross-country skiing. If you want to sleep at the foot of the slopes, the Telesilla Accommodation and the Toribión hostel are in the same place.
