Chalet Lupo is a cosy alpine hideaway just above the village, loved for its warm wood-clad interiors and breathtaking mountain views. Come for elevated Italian comfort dishes – the scialatielli with mullet bottarga and lemon zest or pappardelle with rich ragù are our top picks – best paired with a glass from the thoughtfully curated wine list after a day on the slopes.

Le Piaf brings the exuberant spirit of its Parisian namesake to the Alps in a theatrical chalet imagined by Dion & Arles. Inside, brushed softwoods, embroidered alpine textiles, hanging rugs, vintage chandeliers, and corduroy velvet create a cocooning, mountain-chic setting around the fireplace. Start your evening by the piano bar with cocktails and refined small bites – taramas, mini croque-monsieurs, and smoked salmon – before settling into the restaurant for comforting French classics such as foie gras salad, roast chicken in jus, beef tenderloin with fries and a decadent chocolate mousse.

Le Prieuré is chef Emmanuel Renaut’s convivial village bistro set beside the church on Place de l’Église, in a historic chalet once renovated by Henry-Jacques Le Même. Inside, pale woods, parquet floors and a remarkable painted coffered ceiling inspired by alpine motifs welcome guests from morning coffee to dinner. The menu celebrates generous Savoyard-leaning bistro cooking – reblochon-filled bites, alpine lake fish, local cheeses and comforting desserts such as chocolate mousse – paired with Savoie wines.
