Fine dining in Val d'Isere

Posted by LizWoods 13th February 2012

Val d'Isere have some great fine dining experiences on and off the slopes. The snow is so amazing this year, add to that the tempting Michelin star cuisine on offer and you could be in seventh heaven! So even if you don't ski you could spend your time choosing the best places to eat or attending a cooking class at one of the best restaurants in town, or sample the delights at a wine tasting evening.

About the author

Hannah is MadDogSki's editor, which involves a pretty decent balance between trawling around behind the scenes of this website you see before you, and zipping around the pistes and bars of the Alps. Please email me if you've got any suggestions about things you'd like to see on here, and I'll see what I can do (especially if you demand stories on heli-skiing, the world's best spas or vin chaud tests, personally researched. Well, it would be rude not to).
