La Subida

Top choice in Cormòns


A famous family-run inn, with border-crossing dishes and ingredients – rabbit, boar, flowers and berries – that bring the landscape to the plate in a very modern way. Stay over in one of the stunning forest houses (doubles from €170) and wake to birdsong and rustling leaves. Across the way there is an osteria with a terrace (meals €15 to €25) and great natural orange wines (skin-contact whites) from Paraschos.
