French gems: Gastronomy in Three Valleys and Espace Killy Ski Areas

 

Where High Cuisine Meets the Slopes

 Are you ready for your ski holiday in Courchevel, Méribel, or Val d’Isère to transform into a sophisticated gastronomic journey?

 

The French Alps are the territory of Absolute Alpine Chic (Chic Alpin). Here, in the heart of Savoie, Michelin stars shine brightly within luxurious chalet interiors, offering the perfect French standard: a blend of virtuoso classic and contemporary cuisine that harmoniously combines the traditions of Provence with the richness of the mountain environment.

 

These restaurants are the ideal destinations for those who seek harmony between adrenaline on the slopes and the refinement of French haute cuisine. Below is our exclusive guide to the establishments in the "Three Valleys" and Espace Killy, well worth coming down the mountain for.
