“Transported from a storied Vermont ski resort, the Fondue Express has been masterfully restored to become North America’s first gondola dining experience. Inside, guests are enveloped by warm woods, fine Alpine textiles and the twinkle of imported Swiss and Austrian glassware and china, with a satisfying Alpine menu of Raclette, cheese fondue, bratwurst, Rösti potatoes, served alongside vintage selections of Veuve Clicquot champagnes.”

If you are a skier in Rhode Island with deep pockets and you’re looking for a unique place to have a Valentine’s date consider booking a dinner at the Ocean House’s Fondue Express. The upscale hotel repurposed a gondola from Stratton which can be book for up to four people for $460 (plus tax and gratuity) with a Veuve Clicquot Champagne pairing. The experience comes complete with a personal server and an optional white Columbia Titanium coat to keep you toasty warm while you eat:
