Grüner 4.0
One of the ways we’ll be celebrating
our third anniversary (on Dec
28) is
by closing during the first week of
January forsome serious
remodeling.
We’ll be installing new flooring and
additional bar seating, puttin
g fresh
paint on the walls, and adding new
signage throughout our cozy little
complex. After we’ve finished,
we’re
going to celebrate with an open
house/birthday party in early January, to which you’ll be invited.
More to follow!
We’d like to take this opportunity to
say thank you for your patronage and support – and we look forward to seeing you over the holidays!
We invite you to come warm your spirits with a fragrant shot of schnapps or enjoy the pleasure of toasting with friends over a bottle of sparkling rosé or champagne. Add some melted raclette and voilà! your own après-ski, Chamonix-Mont Blanc. Our advice for the coming season is to relax, enjoy its time-honored traditions, and not to let the holidays get to you. Power it down or turn it off, but do yourself a favor and go for a walk(…maybe to your favorite alpine restaurant around the corner.)
