Between 1500 and 2300 meters altitude, the French Alps host Michelin-starred restaurants that highlight mountain products. From Chamonix to Val Thorens, passing through Courchevel, Megève, or Saint-Martin-de-Belleville, these establishments offer alpine cuisine where chefs work with Savoy cheeses, lake fish, mountain herbs, and meats from local breeders. Menus change seasonally and reflect the alpine terroir using contemporary cooking techniques. The formats vary widely: Le 1947 in Courchevel has only five tables in an intimate setting, while others have multiple rooms. Some restaurants, like Les Explorateurs in Val Thorens or Le P'tit Polyte in Les Deux Alpes, offer direct views of peaks and glaciers from their windows or terraces. Wine cellars often hold several thousand references, both French and international. Many of these establishments, which hold two or three Michelin stars, attract clientele from around the world to experience mountain haute cuisine in its natural setting.
