Where to Eat in Les Deux Alpes

The mountain restaurants are mostly self-services, but with some good exceptions. La Molière (+33 476 80 18 99) is at the foot of the pistes, and Le Diable au Coeur (+33 476 79 99 50), at 2400m, has an open fireplace and well-prepared regional cuisine. Both are recommended. Le Panoramic (+33 476 79 06 75), at 2600m, is a mountain hut with a great atmosphere and some of the best fare in the resort. La Fee (+33 476 80 24 13) is another recommended mountain artery.

In the evening there’s a good choice of restaurants and some reasonable prices.
