When the forests take on shades of ochre and gold, the temperatures cool and the mountain pastures gradually empty, a new season begins on our plates. Game makes its return to restaurants in the Vaud Alps, accompanied by its essential autumnal accompaniments.
Roe deer, red deer and wild boar are served alongside spätzli, chestnuts, cranberries, mushrooms, red cabbage and poached pears. From fine-dining establishments to mountain restaurants, every chef puts their own spin on this tradition.
From Leysin to Les Diablerets, from Villars to Gryon, via Bex, Aigle and the Col des Mosses, discover our top picks for enjoying game in the Alpes Vaudoises this autumn.
