The main setting for the Dutch Mountain Film Festival is the Royal Theater in Heerlen. Those who are not already familiar with this one-time cinema, will feast their eyes on the exquisite foyer and auditorium, with its extraordinarily plush cinema seats.

 

The Royal will soon be undergoing redevelopment. For that reason we have expanded our base camp with a mountain-hut cinema (Berghut Bios), 40 metres across the square from the Royal

 

The Berghut Bios not only has a film theatre, but a bar too. This is also the place where mountain-hut style food (BergsteigerEssen) will be served.

Opening times for Berghut Bios:

  • Friday 5 pm to 7 pm
  • Saturday 1 pm to 8 pm – with food (BergsteigerEssen) available from 5 pm to 7 pm.
  • Sunday 12 pm to 8 pm – with food (BergsteigerEssen) available from 4 pm to 7.30 pm.

Refreshments and snacks are available in the foyer of the Royal (on the first floor) before and after film showings.

Vouchers will be sold for ordering drinks (payment by debit card available) BergsteigerEssen can best be reserved via the ticket shop: first come, first served! Please note there are no toilets in the Berghut Bios.

The Royal Theater is close to the centre of Heerlen, where a large array of cafes and eateries can be found, especially at Pancratiusplein. Heerlen’s highest restaurant, Mijnstreek is just a stone’s throw away from the Royal.
