Chalet Chef in Val d'Isère

French gastronomy on the roof of the Alps

After a day on the Face de Bellevarde or the Olympic slopes, return to your chalet and let me delight you. Fondue with alpine Beaufort cheese, authentic tartiflette, or a gourmet dinner — your ski holiday deserves cuisine that matches the mountain peaks.

Val d'Isère: when exceptional skiing deserves exceptional cuisine

Val d'Isère is not just any resort. Cradle of the Albertville Olympic Games, it attracts discerning families every winter who seek the best ski domain in the Alps: Espace Killy and its 300 km of slopes shared with Tignes.

But in Val, gourmet restaurants like La Table de l'Ours or L'Atelier d'Edmond are fully booked weeks in advance. And after a day on the Solaise or Le Fornet, nobody wants to venture back out into the cold at -15°C to dine in town.

That's where a chalet chef changes everything. You return from the slopes, the children warm up by the fireplace, and a fondue with alpine Beaufort cheese or a leg of lamb with Provençal herbs awaits you. Absolute luxury.

Why a chalet chef in Val d'Isère?

The challenges every family faces in Val

🌨️

Go out at -15°C?

Val d'Isère sits at 1850m altitude. In January-February, night temperatures often drop to -15°C. After skiing, nobody wants to go back out.

📅

Fully booked restaurants

La Table de l'Ours, L'Atelier d'Edmond, Le Blizzard... The best tables are reserved 3-4 weeks in advance, especially during school holidays.

👶

Exhausted children

After 6 hours of skiing and ESF ski school, your children are worn out. Taking them to a gourmet restaurant? Mission impossible.

🚗

Limited shuttles

In the evening, free shuttles stop early. Without a car, it's difficult to reach the restaurants in the centre from La Daille or Le Fornet.
