plus many more to try!

Afternoon tea is available on a 'self service' basis, and includes
a freshly baked cake, scones, etc with tea, coffee and sof-drinks.
Beers, mixers, champagne, local quality wines, snacks and sweets are

Chalet night off
Once a week the chalet staff take a well-earned break, giving guests
the chance to try one of the many local restaurants. We can offer suggestions,
make reservations of your behalf and arrange transport. Many types of
cuisine are on offer, ranging from excellent wood-oven pizzas to traditional
Savoyard fayre and serious gastronomy.
Please note that guests are not permitted to use the chalet kitchen (for insurance and operational reasons), but crockery and cutlery may be used for bought-in food provided chalet staff know in advance
Wine and Cheese Tasting
One evening a week guests will have the chance to try a selection
of wines and cheeses from the Savoie region, in which we are located.
The local wines range from the very dry Apremont to the distinctive
red Mondeuse, and Beaufort, Reblochon and Tomme cheeses are never
more delicious then when tasted so close to their place of origin.
