The Keystone Ranch is the ultimate, western experience. Only the finest quality meats and locally sourced products are served up at this authentic steakhouse, paying homage to the ranchers and farmers who settled the area.

Offering breakfast, lunch and dinner, reservations are encouraged.
Step back in time at the Ski Tip Lodge – the original family home of Keystone Resort’s founder. Today, this quaint B&B is home to one of the most acclaimed restaurants in the country. The four-course menu varies week to week and is accompanied by an extensive wine list. Repeatedly voted Best of Summit County and winner of several national awards, the Ski Tip Lodge is the perfect location for an intimate dining experience. Reservations are recommended.
Dine at 11,000 feet at Der Fondue Chessel! This family-friendly experience starts with a gondola ride to Keystone’s North Peak and arriving at the Bavarian beer hall featuring a traditional four-course feast served fondue style and live entertainment. Options include traditional fondue favorites but does include a few other surprising items including lobster tail and wagyu tri-tip. An excellent experience for the whole family!
