Chez Pierina
About
Chez Pierina is a family‑owned restaurant tucked into the heart of Chamois, a small alpine settlement in the heart of the Aosta Valley perched at 1,815 m above sea level. The venue celebrates the culinary heritage of Val d’Aosta, offering a menu that centers on traditional dishes such as creamy polenta, hearty wild‑game stews, and a selection of homemade desserts. The new 2019‑renovated interior brings together stone and warm wooden beams, echoing the rustic atmosphere of the surrounding mountains while providing a cosy, modern dining space. The restaurant prides itself on using locally sourced, seasonal ingredients—think Parmigiano‑Reggiano cheeses, artisanal cured meats, and fresh alpine herbs—cooked over a traditional wood‑fire stove. The result is an intimate, homestyle experience that feels both authentic and comforting. Chez Pierina’s bar offers small‑batch wines from the Val d’Aosta region, catering to guests who wish to complete their meal with a local pairing. With a seating capacity of fifty, the restaurant welcomes family gatherings, couples, and groups of friends. Wheelchair access is available, and the warm, open‑plan layout encourages social interaction. Whether you arrive by funicular from Buisson, stroll the historic paths to the nearby Codis, or simply come for a leisurely lunch, Chez Pierina promises a memorable taste of traditional Valdostan hospitality in a breathtaking alpine setting.
