La Folie Douce Alpe d'Huez, Mountain restaurant in Huez, France
La Folie Douce Alpe d'Huez is a high-altitude restaurant at 2400 meters that blends dining with outdoor entertainment and panoramic Alpine views from its terrace. The establishment features multiple spaces with both indoor and outdoor areas where guests eat while watching live performances.
Founded by Luc Reversade in 1974, the restaurant started in Val d'Isère and later expanded to multiple ski resort locations across France. The Alpe d'Huez location opened as part of this ongoing expansion.
The venue hosts daily live performances with dancers, musicians, and acrobats who perform in the snow-covered mountain setting. These shows are woven into the dining experience and create a celebratory mood that extends beyond the meal.
Advance reservations are necessary and can be made through the website or concierge services to secure a table. Plan your visit around operating hours to make the most of your experience.
The venue uses specialized heating systems in its outdoor bars to prevent beverages from freezing in sub-zero mountain temperatures. This technical feature allows guests to enjoy warm drinks and cocktails even in extreme cold.
