Our cuisine proposal
Tradition and Innovation: The Cuisine of the Shambalà Refuge
At the Shambalà refuge, the cuisine is much more than a simple service: it is an experience that tells the story of the territory and its culture. Our culinary style is rooted in ancient mountain traditions , but also looks to the future, with a touch of creativity that enhances and renews local flavors. Each dish is born from a deep respect for the products of our land, carefully selected to offer uncompromising quality.
Local Products
Our culinary philosophy starts from the authenticity and freshness of local products. Local cured meats and cheeses are the protagonists of many of our dishes. We carefully select the best local products to ensure that every guest can savor the richness of traditional flavors. These cheeses and cured meats, the result of the work of small local producers, offer a direct connection with the land, giving you an authentic taste experience.
Tradition Revisited with Creativity
In our kitchen, tradition is a starting point, not a limit. Every dish we offer, from appetizers to desserts, is prepared with attention to the flavors of our land, but revisited with a touch of creativity . We believe that cooking should be a stimulating experience , that respects the roots but at the same time surprises.
The Essence of the Mountain
The dishes of the Shambalà refuge embody the essence of mountain cuisine: robust, rich in genuine flavours and prepared with local raw materials. Quality is at the centre of our work, and the dishes are designed to make you discover the potential of “rustic” cuisine , reinterpreted with skill and passion.
Dishes of Memory: The Taste of the Past
A special place in our menu is reserved for the dishes of memory , ancient recipes that bring back to life the flavors of the Lombard valleys. These dishes, simple but rich in value, are the beating heart of traditional cuisine: dishes traditionally made with poor but genuine ingredients and alternatives to just polenta , which once was never missing from mountain tables. Forgotten flavors and aromas that, thanks to our cuisine, return to being protagonists.
