Lo Riondet
Lo Riondet is a small restaurant in La Thuile that has served traditional mountain dishes since 1978, housed in a cozy chalet. The interior features simple decor with wood accents, and the menu offers regional specialties such as polenta with baked cheese, Fontina fondue, hearty meat dishes, and homemade desserts.
The restaurant was founded in 1978 by Ivano, a young man, with his grandmother Maria's support in the kitchen. Over the decades, its reputation grew as a place for genuine mountain cooking and traditional Italian dishes.
Lo Riondet reflects the spirit of local mountain culture, where traditional recipes and regional ingredients from the Aosta Valley take center stage. The staff often share stories about the dishes and the area's history, making each visit feel more personal.
In summer, you can drive to the restaurant, while in winter you can ski or walk there, with the option to descend the slopes by torchlight in the evening. It is recommended to book in advance, especially during the ski season, to secure a table.
A special experience is the torchlit ski descent, where guests ski down the slopes by torchlight before arriving for dinner at the restaurant. This creates an unforgettable adventure that combines winter sports and hospitality in a unique way.
