Alfresco dining in the mountains
When planning a holiday in Cervinia and Valtournenche, yes the most obvious activity on the itinerary is definitely which piste to unleash the dare devil in you but why not tap into your culinary tastes as well? There is nothing more romantic than being nestled into a tiny little wood cabin restaurant, roaring fire, glass of local premium wine and enjoying hearty plates of Valle d’Aostan cuisine.
The best restaurants nestled in the heart of the mountains
Chalet Matterhorn Francis
Or what about sipping hot chocolate by the piste watching all the skiers fly past, whilst you are induldging in decadence. Or if you fancy going that one step further, try a “bombardino” which is a local grappa topped with whipped cream! Will certainly make for an interesting ski back down the mountains!
Mountain cuisine is definitely not for the faint hearted and even more a no no for anyone on a diet! The food is hearty and designed to fill you up and keep you warm whilst you brave the cold temperatures on the slopes.
