We've put together a list of some of the best ski resorts to visit where you can ski your day away, then top yourself up at great restaurants. Our excellent team of ski experts have been there and spent some time at the resorts tasting their gastronomy.

Courchevel, FRANCE

Courchevel is part of the famous Three Valleys , the world's biggest linked ski area and one of the most exclusive ski resorts in France. This ski resort is also home to 7 Michelin-starred restaurants , with it being the resort with most Michelin-rated establishments in the Alps. The resort also has three restaurants with 2 Michelin stars ( Le Kintessence, Le Montgomerie and Le Chabichou ) and three with 1 star ( Baumanière 1850, Azimut and Le Farçon ).

Le Kintessence Resturant

The majority of the Michelin starred restaurants can be found in the exclusive village of Couchervel 1850. Le 1947 is a 3 Michelin star restaurant where they serve Modern and traditional dishes inspired by their Alpine surroundings, the Le Chabichou has two Michelin stars and is one of the first gourmet restaurants that opened in Courchevel.

If the prices of Michelin restaurants are out of your budget, don't worry, in this case we recommend you visit the Chabotté and its delicious cuisine, here you can enjoy Jazz concerts while you savor their incredible dishes.

Zermatt, SWITZERLAND

When it comes to food-related feasting, this is a foodie resort where you'll find artisan bakeries, chocolate shops and a range of highly rated restaurants. The resort is renowned for its culinary charm and has views to match. Almost any place you choose to stop will have a great selection of meals to choose from.

With well over 100 restaurants in the ski resort serving gastronomic delights from all over the world. The resort offers plenty of variety in choice. The hardest part of dining in this resort is simply picking where to go.

Zermatt claims to be one of the best, if not the best, ski destinations for high-standard cuisine and for a good reason. This Swiss ski resort has the highest concentration of gourmet restaurants, including two Michelin-starred restaurants. Your palate is guaranteed to be happy if you manage to ignore how light your wallet becomes as your belly heads in the opposite direction thanks to everyday feasts of rosti, raclette and l amb.

Aroleid Restaurant, Zermatt

If you're looking for creative and “alternative” cuisine on the ski slope, you'll enjoy this contemporary and rustic-style chalet restaurant where the array of interesting dishes feature Asian, Italian and French influences reflecting the chef's international travels. Full of flavor with individual touches and options such as roast duck, consommé...

Val Thorens, FRANCE

One of the most famous ski resorts in France , being the highest mountain resort in the whole of Europe isn't the only thing it's well-regarded for.
Val Thorens is known for its cuisine and its 'snow bistronomy', which combines cozy atmospheres with gourmet food.

There is a wealth of choice when it comes to food in Val Thorens , you will certainly never go hungry! Choose from about 60 places to eat in town and about a dozen on the mountain, with a host of international options joining the standard creperies, pizzerias and purveyors of traditional Savoyard fondues, raclette and tartiflette .

There are high quality hotels and restaurants in resort serving incredible cuisine. We highly recommend visiting the Jean Suplice and L'Epicurien, both with two Michelin stars that provide modern and lesson ic regional dishes.

Chalet de la Marine terrace, Val Thorens

Grandvalira - Vallnord Pal-Arinsal - Ordino Arcalís, ANDORRA

The Vallnord - Pal Arinsal , Ordino Arcalís and Grandvalira ski resorts have several restaurants and bars on the slopes where you can taste the Andorran recipes. You already have a good reason to sit down to eat during your day in the snow!

Andorran gastronomy, although it has its own dishes, also has many similarities with Catalan and French. The proximity to Catalonia means that many typical Andorran dishes are also present in Catalan mountain cuisine. It is normal being their closest neighbors!

Restaurants in Andorra offer signature cuisine with a touch of high quality mountain cuisine, where eating becomes an authentic experience. Its cuisine is based on mountain hunting and its substitutes such as sausages; in estuary fish, with trout as the main dish; and also with a lot of presence of wild mushrooms and fruit.

GRANDVALIRA

Grandvalira, the largest ski area in southern Europe , is also the perfect destination for lovers of good food. In addition to 210 km of slopes and snowparks, there are also 17 bars and restaurants - 12 à la carte and 5 self-service - where you can recharge your batteries after skiing or snowboarding. They come in all shapes and sizes, from charming restaurants to restaurants directly on the slopes, ideal for a quick snack before getting back on your skis.

Grandvalira (Pas de la Casa) - Cala Bassa Costa Rodona Restaurant

A restaurant that brings the essence of Ibiza to Grandvalira to savor Mediterranean cuisine with a touch of the Pyrenean climate. Here you don't have to limit yourself to eating at the tables, you can also enjoy our cuisine in our comfortable hammocks overlooking the mountains.

Cala Bassa Costa Rodona Restaurant

The other option for skiing in Andorra is to book your Ski Pass and hotel package in Vallnord. There you have two top ski resorts within easy reach: Pal Arinsal and Ordino Arcalís , where there is no shortage of options for rounding off your ski holiday with a delicious lunch or dinner.

If you're looking for restaurants in Vallnord , a good choice is Pla de la Cot Ski & Lounge , next to the Serra II chairlift, with a varied menu and the best market cuisine, including the unfailing raclettes and fondues. You can't miss El Rústic either, recently refurbished, although it retains its stone and wood décor. Without a doubt, its homemade food is to die for.

Vallnord - Pla de la Cot Ski & Lounge

A restaurant with a varied menu and cuisine , has a large terrace where to enjoy a delicious meal accompanied with incredible views and bright skies. You can also go up at night with snowshoes, which you can rent in our shops and enjoy the restaurant's specialties.

Pla de la Cot Ski & Lounge

Innsbruck, AUSTRIA

Aside from being a top destination for winter sports, the restaurants in Innsbruck are among the best reasons to travel to Austria's southwestern alpine state. Discovering its country's culture through its food is another option for you to visit. To regional taste, traditional delicacy is a part of any unforgettable ski holiday experience.

One of the glories of the Austrian Tirol is how easy it is to find a mountain restaurant serving hearty, rejuvenating meals. Some of these “huts” are ancient and creaky. Others are brand-new, but built with richly-textured wood and stone. In both you'll find local ingredients, expertly cooked – and a friendly, upbeat atmosphere. You'll also be pleasantly surprised by the prices.

The Seegrube Restaurant is located high above the rooftops of Innsbruck. The restaurant is open all year round and caters to all who enjoy Tyrolean cuisine and the fantastic views over Innsbruck.
