Lunches on the Slopes
Courchevel's mountain restaurants are destinations in themselves — from altiport plane-spotting to summit fondue at 2,738 m. The midday ritual is sacred; reserve a week ahead at minimum.
The signature tables
Cap Horn
Altiport · plane-spotting terrace
Glass-walled terrace directly on the altiport runway — long lunches with private jets taxiing past.
La Soucoupe
Loze · 1965 wood chalet
The historic open-fire grill — côte de boeuf, lamb chops and a vinothèque that has outlasted three generations of skiers.
Le Bel Air
Côte 2000 · sunset views
The long-table favourite for groups — Italian-leaning menu and the best afternoon sun in the valley.
Pilatus
Saulire summit · 2,738 m
Take the cable car to the highest restaurant in Courchevel — classical fondue and raclette with a 360° view.
Le Praline
Verdons piste · contemporary
Younger, fresher and quieter — wood-fired pizza and salads done with three-star precision.
Cucina Angelina
Roc Mugnier · Italian
Slope-side Italian counter for handmade pasta and an espresso bar with proper Roman crema.
Frequently asked
Do I need to reserve mountain restaurants?
For Cap Horn, La Soucoupe and Le Bel Air — yes, always. The smaller bistros take walk-ins outside peak weeks.
Can ski-in/ski-out hotel concierges manage the reservation for me?
Yes — this is the most efficient route. Phone or message your concierge the night before with your preferred time and party size.
Is there a vegetarian option at altitude?
Cap Horn, Le Bel Air and Le Praline all offer at least one substantial vegetarian main. The fondue spots are not the place for it.
