Stüa de Michil is the Michelin-starred restaurant of the historic Hotel La Perla in Corvara, the principal village of Alta Badia in the Ladin-speaking heart of the Dolomites. The restaurant takes its setting from a beautiful, centuries-old wood-panelled stube — the traditional Alpine parlour — whose carved timber and intimate scale create a warm and deeply regional atmosphere for a refined fine-dining experience. The cuisine is rooted in the Ladin and Alpine traditions of the surrounding mountains, reinterpreting local ingredients — Dolomite game, Alpine herbs, freshwater fish, mountain cheeses, and seasonal produce — with technical precision and a strong sense of place. Tasting menus follow the rhythm of the seasons, expressing the landscape of Alta Badia on the plate. The restaurant is also renowned for its wine programme: the Hotel La Perla maintains one of the most celebrated wine cellars in the Dolomites, a vast and lovingly curated collection that makes pairings a highlight of any meal and is itself worth exploring. The restaurant serves dinner only and operates seasonally for the winter and summer periods, closing during the spring and autumn shoulder months. Reservations are essential, particularly during the Christmas and February ski weeks and the height of summer. Expect to spend roughly €90–€140 per person for the tasting experience before wine. Corvara sits at the centre of the Sella Ronda ski circuit and amid outstanding summer hiking and via ferrata terrain, making it a superb base, and Stüa de Michil is among its finest dining rooms. The restaurant suits travellers seeking refined, locally rooted Ladin and Alpine cuisine in a historic and atmospheric stube, paired with an exceptional wine experience, in the heart of the Dolomites.
