Les Marmottes Cuisine terroir en altitude

We had two nice lunches here, the waiters were very friendly and the food was incredible!! I strongly recommend the Dessert du Jour: we had a chocolate fondrum and apple tarte tartin- both excellent.

They've resolved their game at this Swiss lunch break on the mountain. The food is great, the staff is universal friendly and Ms. R says they have the best loos in the Portes du Soleil (l’ Occitane hand cream! . For lunch you can sit on the sun terrace or inside (best to book and I would recommend the Croutes aux Champignons. Amazing. The desserts are pretty good. The best thing is that this is not a bankrupt stopover. Lunch is usually CHF 25-30 incl. Drinks.

From all restaurants in Portes de Soleil, this was the one we chose for our last lunch on the slopes before the home trip. We had eaten there and were thrilled. It was good this year too. Maybe the portions were a little smaller... come on guys, chips don't cost anything so stack them up) and the service was slow that we waited so long to order a coffee and at the end gave up) but the food was still great. Pricey, yes! But not more than anywhere else. Amazing location and fantastic views. The smartest look at the slopes and Fab interiors. The best access is the tow lift and the slopes to the right and the slopes to the right. For good skiers. If you are a beginner, it is a bit of a push from the slopes below the restaurant. Although!!!

We made a reservation for Sunday lunch at 13h30 while skiing last Sunday. After waiting too long, we ordered a small salad and a terrine for starters and a marmite and cordon bleu for Main Course. First came the cordon bleu, shortly the salad and the terrine followed immediately by the marmite. Service was an unorganized disaster but with the exception of the Cordon Bleu the dishes were good. The Codon Bleue however, was a convenience food, combined meat product, which had nothing do to with Cordon Bleue. The check at the end was again first class. .

This place burnt to the ground a few years ago but has risen, Phoenix-like, from the ashes to become one of the best mountain restaurants on the Swiss side of the Portes du Soleil. I have only visited in winter but it has a lovely sun facing terrace which overlooks the Dents du Midi affording a magnificent view.One minor criticism is that access on skis is not that easy for a beginner. Confident skiers have no problem.
