GOURMET STOPS IN MOUNTAIN RESTAURANTS

Between runs in the middle of an intense day of skiing, a relaxing and refreshing break in a mountain restaurant is particularly welcome. On the terrace or in the dining room, the view of the surrounding mountains is unrestricted.

At the top of the Saulire, the restaurant Les Pierres Plates serves traditional and yes innovative cuisine. A decided bonus: warm blankets are available for those who wish to have lunch outside, facing the great white summits.

Deeply connected to its local agricultural roots, the mountain restaurant Chez Pépé Nicolas in Val Thorens takes its guests on a trip to a nearly forgotten past world with its trendy chic setting and its mountain gastronomy, prepared from the products of the vegetable garden run tended just outside the door during the summer months.

In the refined atmosphere of the Chalet de la Marine in Val Thorens, by the fireplace or on the terrace, skiers can savour particularly gourmet moments with the dessert buffet signed by the Pastry Chef Xavier Brignon (Vice-Champion of France for desserts 2009 & 2011).

Welcome to Le Maya Altitude restaurant, located at 2300m altitude at the top of the Tougnète and Saint Martin Express chairlifts, between Méribel and Saint-Martin-de-Belleville.
