Here’s The Chalet Edits 10 Best On-Piste Restaurants In Courchevel
Cap Horn – This is the oldest mountain restaurant in Courchevel 1850, dating back to 1954. It is the ultimate sun trap thanks to its magnificent south-facing terrace. This is one of the places to be seen in Courchevel and is a must for those who love gastronomy. Experience refined gastronomy with a clever mix of dishes inspired by the land and sea.
La Cave Des Creux– Perched at 2100 meters, in an old shepherd’s hut, this lunch spot is hard to beat with its panoramic view of Mont Blanc. We love the authentic chalet décor, as well as the exquisite mountain food. La Cave des Creux serves a refined brasserie menu with regional specialities and high-quality produce.
La Chalet De Pierres – Something of an institution, La Chalet De Pierres is found right on the Verdons slopes. Offering a large range of fine seafood, meat and Savoyard dishes, this historic chalet-style restaurant boasts incredible views of The Three Valleys from its terrace area. We recommend getting cosy by the fire inside on a snowy day – bliss!
La Soucoupe – Discover the perfect place to enjoy the most delicious gastronomy while taking in the most impressive views of Courchevel. Located at the top of La Loze, this romantically rustic restaurant serves up quality cuisine with meats cooked on the open fire. And with good wines and quality champagne, what more could you want?

Welcome to the future of Luxury Chalet Catering in Morzine
Every once and a while you come across chalet catering that isn’t chalet catering at all, it’s boarding Michelin star style food. Luckily for me I visit a group of chalets in Morzine who have the most talented chefs in the business.
The days of the classic chalet staff food have gone – soup for starter, fondue for main, apple tart for pud. Since covid there has been a big shift, professional chefs being employed to wow guests. And I think the chefs love it just as much as the guests.
I stayed in the stunning Chalet Doyen in Morzine, we arrived and once we’d got over the outdoor hot tub, sauna, private bar, wine cellar and demanded they demonstrate the rising/falling swimming pool (very cool), we sat down for some delicious afternoon tea pastries.
Buzzing with excitement for what was going to come later we explored some of the other chalets we were lucky enough to see around including the Chalet Chardon, and the Self-Catered Kerasia where you can take advantage of meals delivered straight to your chalet door.
Chalet Wilkids. Wilkids is positioned next to a small forest which makes you feel like you are tucked away in the woods. The large hot tub, yoga/fitness studio and spa are all there for you to enjoy after a long day on the mountain. The chef is there to spoil you rotten.
The Chardon is HUGE, the open plan design and split levels give so much space that it could easily fit more than it sleeps. Not only here but in the cinema room which I would challenge anyone not to fall fast asleep in! This gives a great area for kids to chill or let off steam in at the end of the day.
This group of chalets have designed a very clever way of working. A central professional kitchen prepares food for all the smaller chalets, guaranteeing the standard of the food as well as offering food delivery service for all of the self-catered. Whilst the larger catered chalets have their own professional chef. This is the best way I have ever seen a chalet company work, food wastage is kept to a minimum, food standards are kept high and it seems to be a trend that is spreading to offer food delivery service. What could be more perfect than having maximum flexibility for your stay?
Mini Eclairs, Lemon and Hazelnut Tarts and Profiteroles
Pan Seared Duck, Picked Parsnip Puree & Roasted Cauliflower

Last month I was lucky enough to spend 2 nights in the stunning and newly refurbished No.14, Verbier. This huge property can sleep 26 guest over 13 bedrooms, or if families stay there are also family bedrooms to accomodate more. This offers one of the largest luxury chalets in Verbier We arrived in Verbier later in the afternoon for our stay in No.14, tired from our flights and transfer. Entering through the huge heavy cast iron front door, we were greeted by a professional chalet team who ask us to don the exceptionally comfy chalet slippers. As soon as those slippers were on and we saw the fireplace, heard the music playing and the word “cocktail?” we all instantly relaxed. For a large group, there is so much space, lots of comfy seating which has been cleverly thought out throughout to give quiet spots looking over the valley, more social seating by the fireplace as well as 2 separate dining areas. On both nights the fire-pit was lit and we sat out for post dinner digestif.No.14 is lucky enough to have one of the top Valais chef’s Linda Soderlund. She talked us through our first evening meal, going through where she had sourced the produce and how her influences from her native Sweden has influenced her menu. The food and wine choices were impeccable and so well matched.
No.14 Chef – Linda Soderlund preparing dinner service
No.14 Dessert – Creme Anglaise with Sorbet
No.14 Main Course – Pork 5 ways : Pork Loin, Pork Croquette, Roasted Pork Belly, Crackling and Black Pudding with Pickled Cauliflower
We made the most of a fully day of the sun the next day by exploring the world famous Verbier, 4 Valley Ski Area. As we only had a day we focussed our skiing to Mont Fort where luckily for us the freeride championships was on. This is an amazing spectacle and one of the 2 huge freeride competitions that takes place in Verbier along with the Verbier Extreme. Note to self, take binoculars next time! We skied down the Vallon d’Arbi (one of Verbier Itinerary un-pisted routes) to take us round to the Savoleyres side. This ski area is a must for your first days skiing. On Sunday or Monday, these pistes haven’t been discovered, the majority head straight up on the Medran. You will usually find yourself one of the very few on beautiful tree lined empty wide slopes. We had a very late lunch at Carrefour, yum! Few bottles of Rose down and we skied down the La Rouge Piste and we found ourselves only 3 minutes walk away from the Door of No.14. However, if your legs are a little tired or you want to have a few more drinks in the Le Rouge Bar, make the most of the 24hr driver service. Back at the Chalet, we were ready to try the spa on the ground floor. Never have i seen such a huge sauna. I wonder how many people could fit in there? The Hammam and Finnish cold water dipping poo was in competition with the sauna in terms of size! In between the 2 we had the pool, which has a state of the art jacuzzi with multi station water features to massage, relax and pummel. We were bought a glass of Champagne or a cocktail and there is also a spa bar which was loaded with beers and soft drink options. Let me tell you, it was hard to leave.
Our second night we met again for pre-dinner cocktails (mine a hazelnut espresso martini). We then sat down in the second dining area, felt like going to a different restaurant! Again Linda described her excitement at find such a fantastic cheese producer and how she sources the meat. We were all massively inspired! For a little theatre she told us instead of the meat being calved at the table she likes to calve the vegetarian option! A really nice gesture. The meal melted in the mouth, we didn’t want it to end.matched.
No.14 Spa Facilities – Sauna
No.14 Spa facilities – Indoor Pool
No.14 Spa Facilities – Massage Room
As far as luxury chalets in Switzerland go, No.14 has got to be one of the top for service. It couldn’t have been any better. the facilities are second to none, the space in the bedrooms especially in the suites are huge which makes this one of the best Chalets in Verbier for Large Groups. We loved it.

Courchevel 1850
We constantly get asked if Courchevel 1850 good for families? The answer is yes! Don’t be fooled by the glamorous reputation of Courchevel 1850, it is one of the most family-friendly ski resorts in France. It has earned the highest rating of ‘Famille Plus’ thanks to its Village des Enfants. This is the largest enclosed children’s only ski area in the world. There are magic carpets, Drago gondola, tree-lined runs, ice tunnels, cartoon characters and a snow garden. What’s more, all of the nursery areas (in each of the villages) have drag lifts you can use for free – no lift pass is required. From Courchevel 1850, there are also several green runs which are designated ‘Easy Rider’ runs off the Verdons gondola, for when the little ones are ready to progress.
Family ski holidays to Courchevel are a delight thanks to the family-friendly activities in the resort too, such as the Aquamotion centre with waterslides, and family toboggan runs down to the next village. Everything is linked by a free shuttle bus, or your luxury Courchevel ski chalet will have a private driver service.
Morzine is proud of its Famille Plus status, which it was awarded for excellence in catering to families with kids. And from the moment you arrive, you will see why. This relaxed ski resort puts families first and each of the luxury ski holidays focuses on kids too.
In Morzine, there’s the Penguin Park at the top of the Pleney lift with tunnels, jumps, and mini slaloms, where young children will be able to get their ski legs. The Morzine Les Gets ski area has plenty of easy greens and blues, perfect for ski lessons. And for the more confident young skiers and snowboarders, head to the Lil’ Stash in Avoriaz.
Besides skiing, kids will love sledging and there’s a whole slope dedicated to it at the bottom of the Crusaz chairlift. Or take them for a ride on the vintage merry-go-round located in the square next to the tourist office. The indoor swimming pool is great for a white out and the outdoor ice rink is always popular with families.
Val-d’Isère has invested time and money into being a great ski resort for kids. From easy access to the kid’s ski areas, modern ski lift infrastructure, endless luxury family-friendly ski chalets and in-resort activities, we love Val-d’Isère for families.
The main nursery ski area for children and beginners is at the bottom of the Solaise lift, and it’s also where most of the ski schools meet up. There is also a nursery area with a free lift in the village of La Daille. When the children are ready to progress, at the top of the Bellvarde ski area you’ll find long green runs on wide rolling pistes.
In the resort, there is an outdoor ice skating rink right in the centre of town, as well as the Sports Centre which is home to an indoor swimming pool. Our favourite post-ski lesson activity is definitely the dedicated sledging zone at the bottom of the Solaise lifts by the Savonnette lift.
