Courchevel, une destination à savourer

In Courchevel, culinary art reaches new heights. Nestled in the heart of the Alps, the resort stands out for its exceptional concentration of seven Michelin-starred restaurants with 13 stars, making it a must-visit destination for foodies from around the world. Here, renowned chefs create bold dishes that combine refinement and authenticity. Inspired by the richness of the Savoyard terroir, each of these restaurants honors it in its own way: for example, Le Farçon sublimates the products of the Savoyard terroir as a whole, while Le Chabichou celebrates alpine cheeses, mushrooms, wild berries, and artisanal Savoyard charcuterie, all combining this tradition with contemporary culinary techniques. The result is a cuisine that does more than just feed, but tells a story, that of traditions revisited in the light of modern creativity.

The à la carte dishes are true works of art. Fondue savoyarde, the iconic dish of the mountains, is transformed into a subtle interpretation, where mature cheeses are combined with unexpected ingredients. Blueberry tart, the symbol of Alpine desserts, becomes an elegant composition with varied textures, designed as a signature dish of the chef at Sakara. As for the mountain broth, it rises to the level of a high-flying experience, crafted with rare herbs and seasonal products.

Each bite reveals a meticulous balance: the comforting warmth of tradition meets the technical precision of contemporary gastronomy. In this universe, the mountains are not only tasted, they are interpreted with poetry.

But such a culinary journey would not be complete without the art of wine. Courchevel is home to remarkable cellars, veritable treasures hidden behind the doors of its establishments. The sommeliers offer exceptional labels, great Burgundy vintages, prestigious Bordeaux wines, but also wines from Savoie with delicate aromas that are still little known.

Each pairing is conceived as a musical score: a glass of Jacquère wine with its sublime golden yellow color enhances the freshness of lake fish, while a structured red accompanies the richness of a slow-cooked game dish. The sommeliers, true storytellers, guide guests through this oenological journey, an experience brought to its peak with the 1947 Cheval Blanc, revealing the nuances of each dish and achieving perfect harmony between food and drink.

Haute cuisine at high altitude in Courchevel is not limited to a simple tasting experience. It embodies a true art of living, a promise of escape and prestige. The experience takes place in an enchanting setting. From cozy lounges by the fireplace to sunny terraces with panoramic views of snow-capped peaks, or even intimate tables like those at the Les Grandes Alpes restaurant, lit by candlelight.

Beyond the food, it is the atmosphere that captivates. The warm welcome, the elegant service, and the attention to every detail enhance the magic of the moment. Here, the mountains are as much to be contemplated as they are to be savored.

Choosing Courchevel for its gastronomy means accepting an invitation to travel. A journey that begins at the table but resonates far beyond the plate. Every dinner becomes an indelible memory, an unforgettable experience at the L'Alpage restaurant, where flavors interact with the beauty of the landscapes and the emotion of the moment.

Between the culinary creativity at the Baumanière 1850 restaurant, the virtuosity of flavors, and the magic of altitude, Courchevel reveals itself as an essential destination for lovers of the mountains and haute cuisine. It offers a unique experience, that of a place where culinary excellence rises to the summit, just like its snow-capped peaks.
