What to do in Val d’Isère?

Located in Le Fornet, just two kilometres from the centre of Val d'Isère, L'Atelier d'Edmond remains the gourmet highlight of the resort. This Michelin-star restaurant is set in a beautifully restored alpine chalet near the Iseran Pass, and it serves refined, nature‑inspired cuisine showcasing Savoie produce. Next door, the Bistrot d'Edmond offers a relaxed, high-quality lunch option with mountain classics prepared with the same care. ​

Part of the Hotel Avancher, completely rebuilt in 2017, this address is well known for its Raclette à l’ancienne, served traditionally with regional charcuterie and wines. Its restaurant, La Table de l’Avancher, features a cosy dining room and a large sunny terrace, both open in winter and summer. The adjoining Avancher Bar is a favourite for cocktails and relaxed evenings. ​

Reachable via the Fornet cable car, Le Signal is one of the best‑known altitude restaurants in the area. It serves creative alpine dishes and specialities made from fresh, local ingredients, all enjoyed in a warm atmosphere with panoramic views of the valley. The restaurant regularly earns praise for both service and cuisine and remains a favourite midday stop for skiers as well as summer hikers. ​

On Avenue Olympique, this modern wine‑bar restaurant is perfect for a casual gourmet night out. Expect an excellent selection of French wines, knowledgeable staff, and a menu of refined small plates, charcuterie, and seasonal dishes. It remains open year-round, lively but relaxed, with a focus on good wine and good company.

In the heart of the old village, the Saint‑Bernard‑de‑Menthon Church stands as one of Val d'Isère's oldest landmarks. Rebuilt and embellished in the 16th century in the Savoyard Baroque style, it features finely carved woodwork and richly painted altarpieces. Guided tours reveal its artworks, the Sainte‑Anne altar (1790), the Rosary altar, and other pieces that tell the long story of faith in the high valley.

A multicultural space not to be missed during your visit to Val d'Isere, this social setting replaces the former gymnasium of the Sports Club. It hosts various local associations, a music school, a cinema, and a media library. When the weather is bad, you can also check out its various exhibitions.
