Food is good and decently priced. Good variety of pizza flavors. Great views from most sides of the restaurant.

The original Gwyn's High Alpine was far and away the best mountain restaurant on any of Aspen's mountains. Unfortunately, the corporation that owns the ski resorts decided to shut down a beloved family-run business and install a bland, cookie-cutter cafeteria that offers nothing worth your time. You could taste the love at the old High Alpine. Now you can taste the corporate indifference. What a shame.

First this restaurant isn't Gwyn's anymore. Gwyn's High Alpine deserved 5 stars. The new "High Alpine" is just an overpriced cafeteria with bad pizza, greasy burgers, pre-made sandwiches and salads. The chocolate chip cookies that are packaged are not fresh, they are frozen and defrosted, tasty but artery clogging. I tasted the grill oil on the plant based burger more than the burger and the pastrami Reuben, like 50% fat. I haven't met anyone who doesn't lament this change. I miss Gwen's. So sad to see this place go downhill.

Was a good stop around the Alpine slope area. Not a fan of the multiple levels when you have ski boots on but it worked. Food options were good but limited because of COVID.

I had been to Elk Camp for lunch on the mountain the day before, and my sister in law said she liked Gwyn's better, so we all met there for lunch the next day. I figure that sis liked Gwyn's better because the dining area is a little less crowded than the long tables set close together at Elk Camp. She doesn't have the special diet that I do.I should have looked at all the yummy Yelp photos before coming to Gwyn's because then I would have tried harder to find something that resembled the photos. My cursory glance around the circular food station area only showed me gluten-laden bread, bready things and more bread in various forms. I made a beeline to the area that seemed to have stir fry. The mixed veggies were getting awfully low and I asked the lady if I could have two cups of the veggies. Ended up with only one. (I was splitting a single person lunch with my hubby.) She offered me rice. I said, only one half cup, please. I ended up with much more than that on the plate, but when I asked her to give me less, it slid back into the steam table. I added chicken, enough for two, about six to eight ounces, I told her. I spotted sweet 'tater fries at another station and that brought the veggie total up to what I needed.I did not see any gluten free cookies or treats. I had seen them at Elk Camp.Eating out on the patio was very pleasant. There were grey jays begging for handouts. The view of the mountains was very peaceful. There was live music. What more could I expect or want, having lunch at 10,461 feet?At the top of the Alpine Springs chair lift. Ski equipment and lift ticket required to dine here.

I had lunch here at least once a week in the winter during my ski breaks. My favorite one is chicken stew, but sometimes they put to much potatoes and you can't find the chickens .Although I like this place because I love Snowmass mountain a lot. It's my favorite mountain for skiing- in all of four mountain. Snowmass is a perfect mountain for family skiing/snowboarding because they offer so much. Snowmass have jumping parks, nastar race track, beginners to double black terrains, love..love.., Snowmass! George one of the owners of this restaurant is always friendly.They just remodel or demolish this restaurant last summer and it's gorgeous! I love that the toilets are on the 1st floor now it used to be downstairs and it was hassle walking down the stairs on your ski boots.Ps: look for an airplane that hanging in the ceiling upstairs.

I had a breakfast burrito with salsa, guacamole, and sour cream; side of potatoes. The food was fresh and tasty, and the staff were friendly. Their cafeteria fare is less expensive than many of the food places and in Snowmass Village. Gwyn's is near the top of the Alpine Springs lift and it is necessary to ski a blue trail to get down. The facility itself is a little older than the others on my the mountain, but well kept.

(The dining room, not the cafe.) Phenomenal venue of ski-in fine dining located mid-mountain on Snowmass. The atmosphere is European ski lodge. Sit by the picture windows and watch the snow fall, knowing life doesn't get any better than this. It's a tough decision choosing to go for breakfast or for lunch. To do both would be too, too piggish. Either way, it's incredibly delicious, consistently excellent cuisine. This may be my favorite restaurant in the entire world.Reservations necessary.

This is probably our favorite place to stop on the mountain, although we're usually in the bar for a mid-ski break. The drinks are delicious, the staff is very nice, and the view is just fantastic

We went to Gwyn's for lunch after boarding around Snowmass. The bartenders were friendly (loved the nutty Irishman drink) and the food was awesome (we had the chili and the brisket sandwich). Highly recommend the sandwich!! But in the midst of trying to finish eating and getting back out to board, I completely forgot to close out my tab at the bar. Thankfully, Wendy was able to find it the next day and her husband David agreed to bring my card back down to the village! How amazing is that?! He was so nice and accommodating, since we weren't able to get back up the mountain the next day without snow gear. I don't know what I would have done without David and his wife. The best customer service - thank you again!!
