GASTRONOMY
Our local restaurants have the aroma of a "warm welcome" in the air.
Thanks to their cosy atmosphere and their generous gastronomic selection, including wood-fired raclette served at the foot of a mountain cliff, a fresh trout on the shores of a lake, a fondue high on the top of a mountain. Whether the finest culinary delights, or traditional cheese dishes in the cheese dairy, our restaurants will ensure your out-of-the-ordinary moments and a pampered palate.
Whether in summer with a chilled glass of local white wine or in winter with mulled wine or hot chocolate, the holiday mood is perfect on the sun terraces in the Vaud Alps overlooking the magnificent panorama. No matter where you are, you will find a wide choice of restaurants, bars, tea rooms and wine bars all year round.
An aperitif plate with regional cheeses and charcuterie will satisfy a small appetite and make you long for more of these specialities. For the famous and popular après-ski, our bars welcome you with music, providing the perfect mood to carry on partying in one of the local discos.
There' s nothing better than treating yourself to a local meal in a mountain hut or a restaurant after a hike or between two ski runs. Explore the taste of the mountains through their main ingredient: cheese. Surrounded by glorious nature and impressive peaks, your meal here will taste just like no other.
The entire culinary world is our guest here: the restaurants located in our various destinations offer you dishes ranging from authentic Vaud cuisine to Italian or Japanese specialities. Fondue, pizza, a sushi plate or an excellent cut of meat, this is where you will always indulge your taste buds.
Are you looking for sophistication and unconventional culinary combinations? Connoisseurs will be amazed by our selected restaurants, as the Vaud Alps are also renowned for their Swiss and French top-level cuisine. Enjoy their creations - whether with traditional cheese or exclusive seafood - and experience with your palate why these restaurants are ranked in the Gault-Millau and other guides.
Hidden in a small street or luring you with its panoramic view, the tea-room or the coffee shop is the perfect place to spend a peaceful moment during the day and experience a full immersion in the local gastronomic culture. You will meet locals enjoying a good coffee, reading the newspaper, and savouring a Vaud sweet or savoury delicacy.
Between vineyards, cheese cellars, butcher's shops and pastry shops, your taste buds will certainly be tempted! Our region is known for its delicious and authentic products, whether you prefer to taste them directly in a typical restaurant at the heart of our mountains or from home to relive a souvenir of your trip, let yourself be charmed by the flavours and aromas of our local products!
