Restaurant and refuge at the top of the Tosa d'Alp, at 2,537 metres, reached by the La Molina gondola. Mountain cooking.

Eating at the top of the Tosa
The Niu de l'Àliga is the restaurant at the summit of the Tosa d'Alp, at 2,537 metres, the roof of La Molina, and at the same time a mountain refuge. The resort presents it as completely renovated, with mountain cooking and panoramic views. It is the place to eat at the highest point of the ski area, with the gondola back to the base.
How to get up
In winter you get there on the Tosa gondola, from the La Molina base. On skis, with the day lift pass of the resort. Without skis, with the gondola's pedestrian pass: €20 for ages 12 to 64, €10 for 7 to 11, €15 for 65 to 74 and €7 for the youngest. Leave the car at P1 or P2, next to the gondola base; if you come on the R3, see the La Molina train and bus.
At the top, stay in the summit area if you do not ski: the runs are for skiers. Dress warmer than you think, because on the Tosa the wind blows hard in winter and, if the gondola stops because of wind, there is no way up without skis.
The refuge
As well as eating, you can sleep. According to Cerdanya tourism, it opens all year and is a hostel with bed linen, with two rooms, showers and washbasins, hot water, heating, fireplace, dining room, bar-restaurant and wifi, and stores bicycles and skis. The listing gives 30 places, although its two rooms add up to 27 beds: ask when you book. It is one of the seven refuges of the Cavalls del Vent route, along with Cortals de l'Ingla, Rebost, Gresolet, Prat d'Aguiló, Sant Jordi and El Serrat de les Esposes.
Before going up
Neither the resort nor the tourist board publishes a menu, prices or kitchen hours. Call 605 842 992 or write to niudaliga11@gmail.com if you want to be sure of a table or a bed, especially at weekends. For something simpler at mid-altitude, the resort has a self-service restaurant next to the gondola and other restaurants on the slopes; at the foot of the Pista Llarga, El Tirol.
