Editor's Pick

Le Cap Horn by the Courchevel 1850 altiport for a terrace meal with French, Mediterranean and seafood choices that suit a mixed group.

THE FOOD SCENE

Courchevel offers both a deliberate restaurant evening and a mountain lunch built around the ski day. In 1850, Le Chabichou serves gastronomic cuisine, while La Saulire pairs a cosy chalet setting with French cooking and a substantial wine cellar.

For lunch on the slopes, Le Bel Air belongs to Moriond at the Ariondaz gondola arrival, with a sunny terrace and traditional Savoyard choices. Le Cap Horn, by the 1850 altiport, offers a broader menu for mixed groups. Choose the venue’s village and access as carefully as the menu.

APRÈS-SKI & NIGHTLIFE

Decide whether the group wants a terrace stop or a village evening before the last runs. Le Bel Air’s terrace fits a Moriond mountain stop during restaurant operation; La Saulire in 1850 suits a slower dinner with wine.

Courchevel’s villages give evenings different settings, so plan the return to your accommodation around the venue you choose. Check current menus and reservations rather than assuming one price range across the resort.
