it's interesting that people comment how much coffee or beer is UP A MOUNTAIN, but would gladly go to certain high street coffee shops that are even more exorbitantly priced...

Yes, popular throughout France is the takeaway pasta in a large carton with a fold down top to keep it warm. You choose what type of pasta and which sauce - great for vegetarians. Quite large portions and it keeps hot too.
Also seen this trip was the backpack picnic - the Eterlou pasta bar in La Norma and the Kosa Kruta sandwich bar in Valloire are now offering to pack a backpack with meals, a thermos flask, something to sit on and a bag to put your litter in. Just return the backpack later that day. :-)
I suspect the mountain restaurants pay more rent and tax and have a short season to earn any money, so perhaps the Mountains are not so bad after all.
Totally agree on this one
exactly my point :D
Logistics is also more complex and costs more.

I'd rather pay 3,50 euro for a coffee sitting up a mountain than sitting in the Average UK high street chain paying 3,00 euro (or £2.60).Mountain Addiction wrote:it's interesting that people comment how much coffee or beer is UP A MOUNTAIN, but would gladly go to certain high street coffee shops that are even more exorbitantly priced...

I think I have a new record for a cappuccino. Le Cristal at Verbier tried to charge me 8CHF (6.60EUR\5.60UKP) for a cappuccino! True story. I asked them if it came with a hamburger but they were not amused.
