Alpe d’Huez Mountain Restaurants

In contrast to any other purpose-built French resorts, Alpe d’Huez has a good collection of charming mountain restaurants. Under the first stage of Marmottes La Cabane de Poutat is a charming traditional restaurant with a nice sun terrace but the most charismatic in the central area is the Chalet du Lac Besson, in the area of the frozen lakes on the edge of the Boulevard des Lacs piste. This is more of a cross-country track so is not easy to get to but well worth the effort. Check out the Perce Neige in the Oz valley and the views and food at the Bergerie in Villard.
