Bubbling fondue, oozy tartiflette, chocolate-smothered crêpes... nothing beats alpine eats. But which ski resorts lay on the lot for foodies? Well, we’ve chomped our way around Europe in search of the best of the best. Bag a great-value Jet2 flight and get ready for a feast...

Courchevel, France

Fly into Chambery Airport

Fan of fine dining? You’re in the right place. There’s not one, not two, but seven Michelin-starred restaurants on offer in Courchevel. Le Chambichou boasts two and Le 1947 à Cheval Blanc three, so you can expect culinary wizardry and gastronomic fireworks galore. You can find plenty of laidback eateries too, serving up hearty classics like burgers, pizzas and steak. And with the Three Valleys, the world’s biggest lift-linked ski area, on your doorstep, you’ll be sure to work up an appetite!

Zermatt, Switzerland

Fly into Geneva Airport

It might be better known for its intermediate slopes set against a magical Matterhorn backdrop, but Zermatt’s no slouch in the kitchen. Variety is the name of the game here, from sushi restaurants to traditional Swiss spots. You can’t leave without trying the fondue and where better than at saycheese!? They’ve even got a Toblerone fondue for those with a sweet tooth. When you’re not wining and dining, there’s 350km of terrain to cover, as well access to the neighbouring Italian resort of Cervinia.

Kitzbühel, Austria

Fly into Innsbruck Airport

Comfort food is Austria’s bread and butter. Spend your days whizzing around Kitzbühel’s world-class ski area, then earmark your evenings for restaurant-hopping. There are over 70 places in town to explore, so you’ll be spoilt for choice. Käsespätzle is a must-try, cheesy pasta topped with crispy onions. Remember to save some room for dessert. We’re big fans of Kaiserschmarrn, a sweet, shredded pancake. Need a pick-me-up on the piste? Stop by one of the mountain huts for a piping-hot apple strudel.

Courmayeur, Italy

Fly into Turin Airport

With 42km of winter real estate to its name, Courmayeur’s smaller than many other resorts in the Aosta Valley. But what it lacks in size, it more than makes up for in its restaurant offerings. In fact, one of the highlights of a ski or snowboarding holiday here is lingering over lunch with the locals. Tuck into wood-fired pizzas or creamy polenta, all followed up with a gelato. In March, Peak of Taste rolls into town. This food-focused event includes masterclasses from renowned chefs and mixologists. Who’s for experiencing the highest aperitif in Europe at the top of the Skyway Mont Blanc?

Val Thorens, France

Fly into Chambery Airport

Europe’s highest resort raises the bar in more ways than one. It’s part of the sprawling Three Valleys ski area and it’s got restaurants to suit every palate and budget. Whether you’re in the mood for Savoyard specialities like raclette or the usual international faves, you’ll find it here. Les Explorateurs is one of the knockouts, a Michelin-starred spot, where each dish tells a story. Smoked pike roe with coriander and savoy polenta with candied lemons are just two of the standouts. Bon appé-ski!
