About

Baita Checco is a high‑altitude restaurant perched at 2,000 metres on the Dolomites of Val di Fassa, offering an unforgettable culinary experience surrounded by dramatic alpine scenery. Designed by the Trottner family, the restaurant combines a natural amphitheatre of the Ciampedie locality with a heated, panoramic veranda that provides sweeping views of the mountain range. The menu showcases traditional Trentino dishes prepared with local, seasonal ingredients, while chef Matthias Trottner adds his personal flair with gourmet twists on classic recipes such as canederli, polenta, and wild‑mushroom plates. Guests can enjoy a range of dining options—from lunch reservations to a special New Year’s Eve dinner package that includes shuttle to the Catinaccio funicular, a curated drink selection, and live music by a resident DJ. The restaurant also hosts seasonal events, such as the annual Dolomiti Ski Jazz festival and early‑season sunrise skiing at the nearby Pera di Fassa pistes. Wine and culinary pairings cater to both adventurous foodies and families looking for a relaxed dining experience in an extraordinary setting. With its warm, welcoming atmosphere and impeccable service, Baita Checco is ideal for couples celebrating a romance, families seeking a unique alpine outing, or solo travellers eager to savour authentic Trentino flavours while enjoying breathtaking vistas.
