At La Grande Ourse, the Chef has reimagined Savoyard cuisine with a modern twist. Airelles Val d’Isère welcomes you to rediscover the region’s traditional dishes in a setting paying tribute to their heritage. Everything is made from local ingredients such as crozets, prepared like a creamy risotto, rustic bread, cut into parmesan croutons for soup, or reblochon made just a few kilometres away.

But what makes this place really magical? It is the typical mountain cuisine made for sharing. Choose from Savoyard fondue ‘the way you like it’, or raclette ‘as you’ve never seen it before’. For something different, you will also find fish and exceptional meats, like Black Angus from the renowned Maison Metzer. To round off your meal on a sweet note, the dessert menu is also based around regional Savoyard dishes. A true  journey for your tastebuds, which will constantly surprise you with its flavours and textures. Make no mistake: at La Grande Ourse, generosity is the order of the day and you will find it at every stage of the meal.

This historic chalet, nestled at the foot of the slopes in Val d’Isère, is a jewel of history. Its immaculate white façade is almost hidden by the snow. Inside, ancient pictures and cosy banquettes surround imposing tables. The best spot? In front of the old fireplace. The wooden walls make the restaurant feel even more homely, the ideal place to come with friends or family. You can also admire the panoramic view from the wooden benches on the terrace at La Grande Ourse Val d’Isere, feet in the snow.
