The story
Perched at 2,514 metres on Col Margherita, InAlto is a panoramic restaurant that redefines mountain dining. Reached by a short funivia ride from Passo San Pellegrino – or a scenic hike for those who prefer to earn the view – it offers a setting where the Dolomites stretch endlessly in every direction. The experience is direct, unhurried, and rooted in the landscape itself.
Chef Alfio Ghezzi, alongside Marco Donazzolo, leads a kitchen that works with the rhythm of the mountains. The menu changes with the seasons, drawing almost entirely on ingredients from Trentino-Alto Adige, Veneto, and the broader Alpine arc. Dairy, meats, and vegetables come from small-scale farmers and artisans the team knows personally. No semi-finished products, no compromises – every dish is prepared by hand, daily.
This commitment to a short supply chain is not a marketing line but a working philosophy. It ensures freshness, supports local communities, and keeps the flavours true to the territory. The result is contemporary cuisine that speaks clearly of its place: a plate of mountain herbs, a slow-cooked local meat, a cheese from a nearby malga.
In 2026, InAlto earned a Michelin Recommended distinction, a nod to its precise, ingredient-led cooking and the singular experience of dining at altitude. It is a restaurant that earns its place on the map not through spectacle but through quiet excellence – and a view that needs no embellishment.
