Chamonix / Mountain restaurants

Chamonix focuses on skiing, not eating on the mountain, and the choice on any given day is limited due to the distance between the various areas.

Perhaps unsurprisingly in a resort that is so focused on the skiing, the mountain restaurants are a little disappointing. Most of the restaurants are self-service but there are some notable exceptions. The Plan Joran is the best restaurant in the Grands Montets though the Crémerie du Glacier, off the side of Pierre à Ric (L10) in the trees above Argentiere is a traditional small mountain restaurant offering excellent local food and Chalet-Refuge off the beaten track at Lognan is worth visiting. La Bergerie is your best bet in Le Brévent and the Col de Balme refuge offers a fine Plat du Jour in Le Tour, though there is a short but worthwhile walk to get there and an even longer wait for service.

Given the wide separation of the major areas, you have to make do with the restaurants in the area you are skiing on any given day. The logistics of a group skiing the Grands Montets and meeting for lunch with an intermediate group skiing Le Tour are impractical, even though these areas are relatively close. Save the meet up for après-ski in town.
