Altitude 2000 Self-service

Eating without going down to the village

Altitude 2000 is the catering point at Espot Esquí, at the 2,000 level, the same height as the resort's learning area and play park. It is the only place where the resort publishes that you can eat on the pistes, and it brings three services together at the same point: the self-service, the café and the Ski Burger.

The three services and their hours

The self-service serves a full meal from 13:00 to 15:00 every day of the season; the resort presents it as the menu for recovering your strength after a morning of skiing. The café is open from 8:30 to 16:30, also every day, with bocadillos, something to nibble and hot drinks: it is good for the coffee before the first run and the mid-afternoon break. The Ski Burger makes burgers at weekends only, from 11:00 to 15:30.

The resort does not publish the self-service menu, or prices or capacity: count on a no-frills hot dish and pay on the spot.

When it fits

With children who are learning, because the 2,000 level is where they already spend the morning. Also for those who ski all day: the pistes are open from 9:00 to 17:00, with last lift at 16:30, and from 31 March they close at 16:00. If someone in the group does not ski, the pedestrian ticket costs €8.50, although the resort does not detail how high it goes: ask at the ticket office before promising a lunch up there.

If you prefer to sit down in a dining room, go down to Espot: it is two kilometres away, and in the square there is L'Avet de Sant Maurici, the restaurant of the Hotel Saurat.

Getting there

The resort has three free car parks: P1 La Roca, P2 Estanyets, the big one, and P3 Berradè. At weekends and public holidays the ALSA Ski Bus runs up from Lleida, Balaguer, Tremp and la Pobla de Segur, and from Sort the Snow Taxi, for €2 each way and booking the day before. For any questions, the resort's information phone is 973 624 092.
