The Peak Lodge

Great view, good food and good beer selection. Sure, you pay a premium but it is a restaurant on top of a friggen mountain. Gladly pay that premium, especially if I can snag a window seat. The nice part about this place is that unlike base lodges that have table hogs and loafers, the seats turn quit as most folks want to get back to the slopes instead of just watching. Food take take a little while sometimes, but much better than pre-​made crap.

The Peak Lodge at Killington is one of the can’t miss experiences on the mountain, perhaps better than the slopes themselves. Or possibly a nice cold beer from the bar here just tastes like divine ambrosia after a tough day out on the slopes. The first thing you’ll notice upon entering is the amazing view from the huge windows that looks down the slopes and to the beautiful mountains in the distance. On clear days, I’ve been told you can see Canada. The seatting is just somehow never quite enough here though, especially on weekends. You’ll have to flock around the tables waiting to grab a table the second someone gets up to leave or you’ll be standing all day. The bar is pretty good with a few good Vermont craft beers like Long Trail and Shed. The best thing though is the insane bloody Mary that is jam packed with shrimp, celery, olives, and bacon. It’s nearly a meal on it’s own. There is also wifi here which is fairly fast and much more reliable than spotty cell service on the mountain. Plan your runs around stopping in here.

Ordered the double calamari and 19 White Russians. Thought I was down the South Shore in MA until I snapped out of my blackout and skied down the mountain. Overall great experience.

The problem is not the food (which is average at best) the problem is the setup. You can’t find a table during lunch when you ski forcing everyone to be super aggressive. Forget about getting a drink at the bar. They have the slowest bartenders. It takes almost an hour to get a burger. This is not a ski lodge. I can’t believe they made it so tiny and not convenient for skiing. The only reason for the second star is the view. It is very nice. So come in take a picture and leave very quickly. And don’t even think about using the restroom.
After trying seafood corn chowder I’m taking one star away. The food is well below average but the prices for it are not.

A nice, cozy lodge at the top of the mountain. A bit pricey, but better quality than the food at the base lodges. I ordered the Peak Burger, which had Angus burger, bacon, Cabot Cheddar, banana peppers, lettuce, tomato, and remoulade. It also came with a pickle and potato wedges. It was a nice, tasty burger, but too expensive at $ 19. Aside from burgers and sandwiches, they also have a pasta and soup section and a salad bar. The lodge also has a bar, if you want a beer during your ski break. There are huge windows, but we couldn’t see anything because of the thick fog that day.
To get here, take the K1 Gondola. **If you do not have a lift ticket, you will need to get a $ 20 gondola ticket.

The only bar/​food area at the top of the mountain. Definitely a place to check out when you are up in Killington. Came here on New Years Eve with a group of friends and it was pretty crowded, it took a while to find a table to sit at.
The view from the top was nonexistent because we were pretty much on cloud city but I’m sure the view is incredible on a clear day.
Bartenders were attentive, it did not take a long time to get drinks. We had a few rounds. Definitely try the ciders out. I had tried a few different cider cocktails and they were all very delicious! We picked on the grilled cheese and potato wedges which were also very good.
The staff was constantly coming over to pick up any finished plates and empty cups which is nice especially when it’s so packed and hard to find a seat, the last thing you want is to sit at a table full of other people’s stuff.
Highly recommend. Place is cozy and I think the booze prices are reasonable.

It’s located at the top of the peak to the left as you get off the gondola. A fairly new construction, the interior has a nice clean design. The best part of this place is the wide open 180 degree view from the top of the mountain. Plenty of tables and couches. There is one fireplace. They have a full bar that serves small plates and apps to share like wings and nachos. This place is on the expensive side. Definitely the most expensive place to eat on the resort grounds. I’m sure they probably use better quality ingredients but still, $ 26 for a bacon double cheeseburger? Not for me.

This is the only café/​restaurant up on the mountain so no comparison. Food was on average to the best; however enjoying a cup of hot chocolate on a cold windy day with mountain views surrounded was relaxing. Make sure to sit outside!

Amazing everything.
Pristine view, food made to order from the freshest ingredients, great staff from the cooks to the bartenders and you get to ride a gondola to get there… beat that?
I live in the area and this although owned by the mountain is a hidden gem.
Enjoy it!

First of all. If you’re looking for an alpine counterpart to Stowe’s Cliff House Restaurant atop of their gondola, or Allred’s Restaurant at the Telluride gondola, or Zermatt’s Chez Vrony, you’ll be sadly disappointed. The Peak Lodge is nonetheless a great eatery with superb quality food and, in true Killington fashion, with a totally proletarian outlook which means a crowded, loud, boisterous and ordinary cafeteria ambiance. Were this a sit-​down eatery, it would richly garner five stars.
We got there at 1 PM and we thought we would have missed much of the early lunch crowd. Ha! The place resembled Ginza station in Tokyo at rush hour with two or three groups waiting for each occupied table. Fortunately, a family was about to depart in a more isolated corner and one of us noticed the preparations. To make the long story short, we had a table in moments, right by the window with spectacular views that extended into New Hampshire. Then it was off to the cafeteria line for the Killington version of Haute Cuisine. Each dish was meticulously prepared by a chef. I had one of the best Fettuccine dishes ever prepared, along with a salad, wine and bread. The $ 25 I spent was well worth it. Like I said, for the quality inherent in the food, I would have gladly spent much more for a real sit-​down restaurant. But that isn’t Killington…

Great for lunch — right off the k1 gondola. The food is great, much better than average lodge food. Great views of the Green Mountains. The people were friendly. It was pricey ($ 15 for a cheeseburger) but it was worth it for local farm to table food.

What ski lodge cuisine should be. The Peak Lodge can actually compete with some places I’ve dined at in the Austrian Alps. Only wish it were sit down rather than cafeteria style.

A must lunch stop. The food is worth the money. All the soups are homemade, delicious burgers, salmon sandwich rocked and the elk sandwich was yummy. Try to grab a seat by the fireplace and warm up while you fill up.

For a fee of $ 20 a head, you can take the Skyeship from the base of Killington up to the peak where you can hike to the summit (about 10 minutes) then head to the Killington Peak Lodge for a cocktail and lounge next to the picture windows with 180 degree views of Vermont.
The building itself is new that replaced a structure that was here since the 1960’s, so everything is new and state of the art with floor to ceiling windows. There’s a food cafeteria and a full bar. Couches line around the windows and there are plenty of tables. We were here in October, so it was fairly quiet. There is a lot more activity in the winter when the slopes are open.
Definitely worth the money, however you can also hike to the top, but that would be quite the workout.
