Enhance Your Luxury Chalet Holiday in Alpe D’Huez With Local Dining
For a complete change from your luxury chalet experience in Alpe
D’Huez, head out and try some local cuisine. You won’t be
disappointed.
(firmenpresse) - Skiing and food go hand in hand, and when staying in a luxury chalet in an Alpine resort
such as Alpe’D’Huez, you will definitely be treated to some gastronomic delights. The
catered chalet concept has evolved to mean that you should never want for anything when it
comes to food - and indeed the idea is one that people return to year after year. That said,
there may be a lunchtime or the occasional evening when you fancy a change and want to
head out into Alpe D’Huez and try some regional specialities. This area, after all, is famous
for its iconic mountain cuisine, so it would be a shame not to sample these dishes before you
leave.
Mountain Specialities
The lovely thing about these dishes is that you are not likely to get them in your luxury
chalet. Instead, you can enjoy them in an authentic setting in a local restaurant, giving you a
completely different experience.
Fondue
A throwback from the 80s you might say, but actually this dish has been a staple in the Alps
for decades. The classic dish is originally from Switzerland and is made up of a delicious
combination of three different cheeses: Emmental, Comté and Beaufort. It is a meal that is
designed for sharing, and gathering round the fondue pot with friends in front of a roaring fire
is what an Alpine holiday is all about. Dipping meat, bread and potato into the cheese and
wine mixture is a delight rarely matched.
Where to Eat: Le Chalet du Per'Sille in the Old Town of Alpe D’Huez is a charming place to
sample this specialty.
Raclette
Another legendary dish from this area is raclette, which is just as sociable as fondue. History
tells us that the first raclette was served in 1290 and, once you have tasted it, you will see
why it has stood the test of time. Again, the local cheese of the same name is the star of the
show and it is served as a huge half round, held upright on a warm raclette stand. As the
cheese melts you can enjoy it with potato, crisp gherkins, charcuterie and onions.
Where to Eat: La Crémaillère L'alpe D'huez is our pick for enjoying a superb raclette.
Tartiflette
When it comes to ‘rich and hearty’, this one is a winner. It is a more recent addition to
mountain menus but has become a firm favourite among locals and visitors. Potatoes,
bacon, white wine and Reblochon cheese are the key ingredients of this dish, but today
there are many variations. After a long day on the slopes this one has everything you need
to recharge your batteries, and it tastes fantastic too.
Where to Eat: La Petite Taverne in Alpe D’Huez is a lovely venue and serves an excellent
tartiflette.
There’s no doubt that luxury chalet holidays will provide you with the very best cuisine, but if
you are a discerning traveller who enjoys sampling the local food too, then these iconic
dishes are a good starting point. Other interesting options to look out for include:
● Diot sausages with white wine
● Crozet pasta
● Savoyard hot pot, which is a lovely combination of vegetables, diot sausages and
bacon
● La Boîte Chaude, which is a Mont d’Or cheese baked in the oven in its box and
served with bread to dip.
When booking your luxury chalet holiday, it is always recommended to go through a
reputable tour operator. Expert teams of knowledgeable staff will be able to guide you
towards the holiday you are looking for, and while they take care of crossing the ‘i’s and
dotting the ‘t’s, you can plan your authentic Alpine dining experience.
