A Winter Tradition in the Making

Each winter, Ludwig’s transforms into an evening dining room designed for guests who savor intention. Here, dishes are created to be shared, lingered over and enjoyed in the warm glow of a space that feels timeless.

Crafted by the culinary team behind Vail’s beloved Ludwig’s Breakfast, the menu is elevated yet comforting—rooted in European technique and inspired by Colorado-grown ingredients.
