About Chimney Rock Grill

Chimney Rock Grill sits in the heart of Schweitzer's village, the base area of the ski mountain above Sandpoint and Lake Pend Oreille. The room has a homey log-cabin feel, and the walls carry artwork of local Schweitzer spots, which guests can buy. It is a family-friendly place with enough space for reunions, parties and large groups.

The grill runs during the winter season. Schweitzer's 2026-27 opening day is tentatively November 27, 2026, and Chimney Rock is listed as closed until winter operations begin. The mountain itself has about 2,900 skiable acres and 92 trails, so this is a natural lunch or après-ski stop between runs or after the lifts close.

The menu is comfort food: meatloaf, burgers, salads and appetizers such as ahi poke and carnitas cigars, along with warm and classic cocktails like a hot white Russian. Reservations are recommended. In winter the kitchen also delivers to Selkirk Lodge from 4 to 7:30 pm, paid by card over the phone or by room charge, with no beverages on delivery orders.

Lavender is a summer crop and the grill is a winter one, so the two rarely share a day. Lynn's Lavender is in Sagle, about 40 minutes from the village by the mountain road and US-95; save it for a summer trip and come back to Schweitzer for the snow.
