Restaurant Elsas kök
For almost 30 years Elsa Göransson was the manageress at STF Kebnekaise Mountain Station. Her great interest in mountains and people created a pleasant oasis in the mountains of Lapland. As Swedish alpinism grew in popularity, so did the number of visitors. Now, more than 50 years later, we have been inspired by both the conviviality and sense of community surrounding the shared meal and the culinary arts of yesteryear.
In Elsa’s time there were no helicopters and limited possibilities for the cold storage of food. As sustainability is a constant issue, we are now reintroducing old preservation methods and using old recipes with a modern twist. We serve dinner every evening. With us fullness and culinary experiences go together hand in hand. On your plate, you will find meat and fish from the local area. Vegetarian dinner options are of course available.
At Elsas kök you have the opportunity to eat all meals.
Dinner: 2-dishes
Well-prepared main course & dessert. Including bread, butter, sallad & coffee.
Are you interested in vegetarian alternatives or have special diets you need to contat us before arrival.
Each day you have the option of booking one of the evening’s three dinner seatings. Each seating is limited to 70 people, which means it is advisable to book in advance. Book your dinner here.
At 17:30 the bell rings for the first seating which ends at 19.00. This seatings is great for those who plan to climb the peak on the following day and fits in with the guides’ information meeting ahead of the ascent.
Dinner at 19.15 and 21.00 is better suited to those who like to make full use of the day or have climbed a peak during the day and want to make sure they make it back in time for dinner.
During the winter season dinner is served at 17:30 & 19:00.
