Le Vieux Chalet
About
Le Vieux Chalet is a warm, rustic mountain restaurant tucked into the charming town of Val Thorens. Visitors are welcomed every evening from 6:30 pm, where the inviting décor of wooden beams, vintage décor and the glow of antique lamps transports diners into traditional Savoie. The menu showcases classic alpine fare – raclette, fondue, and a range of Savoyard specialties such as the cherished ‘Berthoud’ and a mouth‑watering ‘L’Heure’ – complemented by a curated selection of mountain wines crafted by the resident sommelier. The cosy atmosphere is enhanced by panoramic views of the Christie-Tremblay slopes, making it an appealing choice for skiers, families, and romantics alike. Whether you’re greeting the sunset over the French Alps or hunting a late‑night ski‑after‑dinner bite, Le Vieux Chalet delivers a genuine alpine culinary experience that feels like a home away from home.
