Viking Yurt at Park City Mountain Resort | Park City & Deer Valley | International & Eclectic, Parks & Recreation | Restaurants
Sure, you can enjoy lunch at the Viking Yurt, but dinner is where it's at, starting with a 25-minute sleigh ride that takes you 1,000-vertical-feet to a blazing fire in a wood-accented yurt, where a 4 1/2 dinner will have you luxuriating in ways only possible in the mountains.

Restaurant Details

Like a nomad on the move, the Viking Yurt is now affiliated with Park City Mountain Resort after 11 years at Canyons. Owners Joy and Geir Vik say the extravagant adventure/dining experience attracts worldwide dining connoisseurs and locals alike. Though day skiers can enjoy lunch, evening dining remains the main attraction. A snowcat-pulled sleigh leaves the resort base at 6 p.m. for a 25-minute ride gaining 1,000 vertical feet. The city lights twinkle as the sun sets over mountains. At the top, a blazing wood stove, homey lighting, a baby grand piano and wood accents bring the yurt to life—romantic indeed. Patrons are welcomed with hot glogg—a Norwegian berry-based beverage—before the chef introduces the evening’s meal. The first course is a soup, followed by salad, then a Kobe beef entree. The sorbet palate cleanser is served in rock dishes that Joy brought back from Norway. The cheese course is served on an aspen plank and, finally, blueberry cardamom bread pudding finishes the six courses. The 4 1/2 hour dinner and unforgettable evening end with a sleighride down the moonlit slopes under the stars.
