The fireside kir days are over! Now it’s time for cocktails made by Hortense Mérie, who came to help her mother Marie. That’s something of a miniature revolution for their four-century-old chalet with stone and larch-paneled walls, where we come time and again to cozy up inside with animal pelts and thick wool blankets for a taste of the chef’s classics.
Sample Lunch Menu:
powerful artichoke and beaufort terrine (€18) or tasty grilled eggplant, tomato confit, sheep’s milk yogurt and a supple chickpea cream (€17); leg of lamb cooked over the embers, with crispy skin and pink meat, served in a hiker’s portion with a classic gratin dauphinois, zucchini, garden herbs, carrots and fennel (€25); before a homemade Ispahan dessert combining raspberry sorbet, litchi, rose jelly and a blueberry meringue (€10).
To drink, there are wines that go down easy:
Les Cassagnes, a Côtes-du-Rhône-Village from La Nerthe (€6 a glass),
a Roussette-de-Savoie from Eugène Carrel (€33 a bottle),
an Arbin from Fabien Trosset (€36).
À la carte €40-55. // G.D.

"La Rosière is the most Italian flavored ski resort of all the resorts in the Savoie. Perched at an altitude of 1,850 m, La Rosière is a south-facing resort that boasts glorious sunshine and breathtaking views. The resort’s buildings are loyal to the traditional Savoyard style, displaying wood, stone and slate features that showcase the local artisans’ talent. La Rosière is a friendly and family-orientated resort. Thanks to its liaison with La Thuile in Italy, La Rosière is the only resort in the northern Alps to be part of an international ski area, the Espace San Bernardo, whose 160 km of slopes straddle the border between France and Italy, providing guaranteed snowfall. Choose between spending the day on the glistening slopes above La Rosière itself or setting off towards Italy, taking in the magnificent surroundings as you glide through the Petit-Saint-Bernard under the watchful eye of the Mont Blanc massif, the Ruitor glacier, Monte Rosa and the Matterhorn. Tickle your taste buds with Savoyard and Aosta Valley specialities or try your hand at one of the up-and-coming snow sports - snow kiting and speed-riding. There are also a host of more sedate activities to choose from, such as snow shoe walks and spa treatments, as well as a wide variety of après-ski entertainment including a bowling alley, disco and ice rink. La Rosière boasts the “Famille Plus Montagne” classification, which means it is ideal for a family holiday, but whoever you come away with - your partner, your family or your friends - you are sure to have an unforgettable holiday in La Rosière!
