La Maison: the perfect ski-in Bistro
On entering La Maison, it quickly becomes clear why this restaurant is a favorite stop for skiers descending the slopes of Val Thorens. With a location literally steps away from the snow, La Maison offers a warm welcome to anyone looking for culinary indulgence after a morning on the slopes. Don’t expect a stiff interior here but top Sovayaard cosiness including crackling fire and sheepskins. La Maison also has a large terrace. What is more blissful than eating something delicious with the sun on your face and surrounded by the mountains.

La Maison presents itself as more than just another bistro; it stands out for its selection of top-quality ingredients. Its collaboration with local farmers attests to this. Their choice of the Aubrac breed speaks volumes about their pursuit of the best meat, while the Reblochon AOP cheese offers a taste of the region that is hard to beat. The meat is so well regarded here that we tacked on a delicious steak tartare and the obligatory “French Fries. The expectations of this dish were fully met especially since it was nice that we could completely finish our tartare ourselves at the table.
Gault Millau and Michelin credits

Conclusion: those looking for a top bistro with honest products at democratic prices with a view of the mountain: c’est ici qu’il faut être!
