French gastronomy on the roof of the Alps
After a day on the Face de Bellevarde or the Olympic slopes, return to your chalet and let me delight you. Fondue with alpine Beaufort cheese, authentic tartiflette, or a gourmet dinner — your ski holiday deserves cuisine that matches the mountain peaks.
Val d'Isère is not just any resort. Cradle of the Albertville Olympic Games, it attracts discerning families every winter who seek the best ski domain in the Alps: Espace Killy and its 300 km of slopes shared with Tignes.
But in Val, gourmet restaurants like La Table de l'Ours or L'Atelier d'Edmond are fully booked weeks in advance. And after a day on the Solaise or Le Fornet, nobody wants to venture back out into the cold at -15°C to dine in town.
That's where a chalet chef changes everything. You return from the slopes, the children warm up by the fireplace, and a fondue with alpine Beaufort cheese or a leg of lamb with Provençal herbs awaits you. Absolute luxury.
The challenges every family faces in Val
Val d'Isère sits at 1850m altitude. In January-February, night temperatures often drop to -15°C. After skiing, nobody wants to go back out.
La Table de l'Ours, L'Atelier d'Edmond, Le Blizzard... The best tables are reserved 3-4 weeks in advance, especially during school holidays.
After 6 hours of skiing and ESF ski school, your children are worn out. Taking them to a gourmet restaurant? Mission impossible.
In the evening, free shuttles stop early. Without a car, it's difficult to reach the restaurants in the centre from La Daille or Le Fornet.
How I fit into your holiday rhythm
Fresh pastries from the Boulangerie du Village, scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, coffee... Everything is ready when you come downstairs. You just need to sit down before heading out to ski.
Exclusive PackageI shop at the Val market or from local producers (Brûlé cheese dairy for Beaufort, artisan butcher). I prepare dinner in your kitchen and make sure everything will be ready when you return.
Homemade hot chocolate, Savoie cake, mulled wine with spices... You return from the slopes and find a comforting treat for the whole family. The children love it.
Prestige & Exclusive PackagesFondue with alpine Beaufort cheese, tartiflette with farm Reblochon, or gourmet menu: butternut squash velouté with chestnuts, Lake Geneva fera fillet, chocolate fondant... Served by the fire, in the intimacy of your chalet.
You don't have to do anything. The kitchen is spotless, the dishes done. You enjoy your evening with family or friends, warm by the fireplace.

The historic heart of the resort, with its prestigious chalets and legendary addresses. Direct access to the Solaise and Bellevarde lifts. Discerning international and French clientele.
The spot for expert skiers, at the foot of the funicular that goes directly up to the glacier. Spacious chalets and luxury residences, more sporty and family-oriented atmosphere than the centre.
The authentic hamlet at the end of the valley, prized for its tranquillity and proximity to the Iseran cable car. Charming chalets in a preserved setting, far from the hustle of the centre.
I also work throughout the Tignes area, connected to Val via Espace Killy. From Val Claret to Le Lac, through Les Brévières and Les Boisses — same services, same quality.

"Traditional French cuisine enhanced by the treasures of Haute-Tarentaise: fondue with alpine Beaufort, tartiflette with farm Reblochon, Lake Geneva fera fillet. Authentic flavours, exceptional products, no artifice."
— Adam Brunet
"Exceptional week in our chalet in Le Fornet. After a day on the Face de Bellevarde, coming home to find a Beaufort fondue waiting for us... Absolute luxury! Adam even prepared a special menu for our daughter's birthday."
"We were 14 for New Year's Eve with friends in La Daille. Adam handled all the meals for 6 days, from breakfast to the gourmet New Year's Eve dinner. Homemade foie gras, lobster, incredible desserts... We're going back next year with him!"
"With 4 young children, impossible to go to restaurants. Adam was our saviour: après-ski snacks, dinners adapted for the little ones and the grown-ups, and a tartiflette we're still talking about. Luxury Val d'Isère!"
"Second consecutive year with Adam at Tignes Val Claret. His cooking evolves each time, he never makes the same menu twice. This year, his veal blanquette and blueberry tart will stay in our memories."
