La Ferme de Cupelin
About
Nestled in the heart of the Mont Blanc Massif, La Ferme de Cupelin offers a sublime blend of rustic charm and modern luxury. The former 1850s farmhouse welcomes guests with panoramic mountain views and an open floor plan that encourages family gatherings, intimate dinners, and solo explorations alike. The restaurant’s menu showcases a seasonal philosophy—fresh, local produce, artisanal cheeses, and Savoyard specialties crafted from hand‑picked ingredients sourced from nearby farms. The culinary experience seamlessly pairs with a curated collection of regional wines and craft beverages found in the on‑site Wine Cellar (Le Carnotzet). After dining, visitors can unwind in the Wellness area, featuring a crystal‑clear pool and a traditional Mediterranean spa tub, the Mazot. A dedicated accommodation wing, including the Royal Refuge, offers cozy mountain lodging with panoramic balconies and a gallery of alpine artwork. La Ferme de Cupelin officially welcomes guests from 16 October to 6 December, then again from 12 December, closing only from 20 April to 29 April and 1 June to 10 June each year. Its open‑air kitchens and open‑to‑nature layout create a daily feast for the senses. Guests receive a three‑hour outlook for meals, with dinner arranged on Thursday, Friday, and Monday evenings, and both lunch and dinner on Saturday and Sunday—perfect for weekend retreats and group gatherings that need to time meals with mountain activities. Reserving a table, either over the phone or via the online “Reserve” button, is highly recommended during peak winter months. The restaurant’s sustainability commitment—evidenced by its three‑macaron Ecotable certification—ensures low environmental impact through products like organic bread, butter, and garden‑grown herbs. Overall, La Ferme de Cupelin is an inspiring destination for families, couples, and food lovers looking for authentic Savoyard hospitality in a picturesque alpine setting.
