BETWEEN TRADITION AND INNOVATION
MEALS AT THE FARM

Try this family-run hotel and restaurant where both the hospitality and the food ooze with togetherness and generosity!

On the road up to the Col des Aravis and on the ski slopes of La Clusaz in winter, Stephen Requet welcomes you La Ferme, his farm set in incredible surroundings. This authentic mountain chalet with its immense “farmhouse” overlooking the dining area, instantly plunges you into the atmosphere. In the kitchen, this restaurant owner works with raw local ingredients to serve traditional dishes of high quality, but also in the interests of the environment. A great eatery for those who like to feel at home and share a moment of togetherness!

In a panoramic restaurant with views of the Tournette, Emmanuel Pessey prepares sophisticated dishes with a Savoie touch.

At the Col de la Croix-Fry in Manigod, stop off for a gourmet break at the hotel and restaurant Les Sapins. This family-run establishment keeps alive the tradition of lively evenings throughout the year. Every Wednesday, come to the “Veillée Savoyarde” dinner to enjoy a local speciality and a party atmosphere in the company of waiters in attire from the olden days. Unless you prefer the Friday dinner-dance that comes with accordion music and the promise of a great atmosphere!
