Furnishings are durable and easy to clean, designed for groups coming straight from outdoor gear.

Menu and seasonal notes

The menu follows the national McDonald’s offering: classic burgers, chicken options, vegetarian selections, fries, shakes and the McCafé range; breakfast items are available during morning service and ice-cream treats appear on warmer days or to reward a day on the slopes.
