L'Art des Mets In the Manchet valley
By opening L’Art des Mets in the unspoilt Manchet valley, Caroline and Emmanuel have set their sights on offering a committed address, where products are prepared in-house:
- Short circuits and common sense: the majority of ingredients come from the region, organic or not, depending on the labels and friends of French producers.
- Maintenance with Eco Label products.
- Renovated building: optimized energy management with recycling of water and kitchen energy for heating.
Next objective
A greenhouse for summer 2025 to grow herbs and maybe even some vegetables locally at 1900 m altitude!
L’Art des Mets is located at the crossroads of safe walking trails, cross-country ski tracks and off-piste ski trails in the unspoilt Manchet valley. The restaurant is open during the day for lunch, tea or snacks, and organizes dinners in the large yurt on reservation.
Palladio Italian with a Venetian touch
Airelles Val d’Isère unveils an Italian restaurant concept called Palladio. Inspired by classic Italian dishes with a Venetian twist, Palladio promises an ideal culinary experience from the huge terrace opening onto the Val d’Isère snow front. The interior and exterior spaces have been specially designed by Artistic Director Christophe Tollemer.
Other culinary highlights include Matsuhisa Val d’Isère, Chef Nobu’s first restaurant in the French Alps; Le Piaf, a nightlife destination for party lovers; and La Grande Ourse, one of the village’s oldest restaurants offering classic Savoyard cuisine accompanied by live music.
Les Fils à Maman Home cooking
Fils à Maman is moving into the mountains with its first high-altitude address on the Val d’Isère snow front. The regressive menu of these family-style restaurants takes up Alpine codes, with a Saucisse Purée featuring Diots de Savoie. For families, there’s a children’s menu and a return-from-the-slopes snack with waffles and hot chocolates.
The interior of the old chalet has been renovated to accommodate tables with benches in an authentic setting, and the new bar in the basement promises warm après-ski drinks. Outside, guests can enjoy the south-facing terrace, sheltered from the wind and boasting breathtaking views of the Avalin peaks.

Hotels something new to discover
Experimental chalet
The Experimental Chalet Val d’Isère opens this winter in the heart of the old village, just a few steps from the snow front. Rated 4*, the hotel offers 113 rooms, suites and lofts, as well as a bar, two restaurants and a Spa with swimming pool, sauna and hammam.
The interior design is by Dorothée Meilichzon. Rooms, suites and lofts are all unique, with a hint of Savoy and Alpine forest: touches of wood rub shoulders with earthy tones, rich greens, deep blues and warm terracotta.
The first restaurant blends rustic notes and homages to Savoie, with a wood-fired oven and a menu featuring traditional dishes such as authentic mountain cheeses, tartiflette and raclette. L
he second restaurant breathes the spirit of the forest, echoing the downstream environment, offering generous dishes to share in a hushed atmosphere.
The Experimental Chalet Val d’Isère inaugurates the sixth Experimental Cocktail Club, a veritable group landmark present in each of the hotels for après-ski cocktails, pre-dinner aperitifs and late-night drinks.
On the slopes with the ski lifts
Vallon Gondola Optimized links to high-altitude sectors
Faster, more comfortable, safer and with less environmental impact, the replacement of the Vallon gondola lift this year, 2024, meets the requirements of customer satisfaction and environmental impact.
In 1972, with the Col lift, the Vallon de l’Iseran and Pisaillas sectors were made accessible. In 1982, the Vallon TCD6 was installed to improve access to high altitude, and the lift has remained unchanged ever since.
