Charlie's Alpine Bistro

Welcome to Charlie’s Alpine Bistro. Named for Charles Skinner Sr., a pioneering skier & visionary who brought the Midwest its first gondola and a legacy of innovation at our beloved Lutsen Mountains. As a classic, midwestern man, he also loved good, simple food just like what our chefs craft today, using fresh, wholesome ingredients from local vendors as well as global providers.
