Take your Rasberrys Deli to the Park

While Sun Valley Resort is America’s first destination ski resort, many may think skiing when they think Sun Valley. The summers are however glorious with endless days of sunshine, beautiful wildflowers and crystal clear mountain fed rivers, streams and lakes.

In the spring of 2020, Rasberrys remodeled their existing space to include a deli case. Dining-in (or outside on the patio) and take-aways from the seasonal menu still remain, but now there are more ways to enjoy the fresh, local and organic goodness created in the kitchen. Soups, salads, breads, pastries and drinks are ready for you to enjoy at any local park or riverside.
