Best fondue in Courchevel

La Tania

La Taïga is a great cosy restaurant just opposite the main bus stop in La Tania. Fondue starts at €15.90 and you can choose from fondue Savoyarde or fondue Royale. Royale is served with salad, cold meats and potatoes. Before your meal you can enjoy an aperitif in the bar then once you've finished your fondue, you can catch live music in the cocktail bar on a Sunday, Wednesday and Friday night.

La Ferme is another local restaurant in La Tania that has French Savoie owners. Their fondue is melted Beaufort cheese which they claim to be the ‘King of the Gruyeres’, and Savoy white wine. This regional cheese is the essential base of the fondue which makes it lighter, tastier and more digestible. It is a pleasure for the taste buds and an exclusivity to La Ferme.

Courchevel Le Praz

Le Petite Bergerie is nominally a steak and grill joint however it does serves up fondue at €20 per person. With an open fire and an excellent wine list, this restaurant won’t leave you disappointed, however, as there are less restaurants in Le Praz, do book ahead, especially on chalet day off.

A fantastic fondue spot is hidden in the village close to the bus stop is La Cortona. For an authentic evening of traditional Savoie including the speciality fondue Bourguignonne. This is a great place to eat because it is a cosy experience and is easily accessed by the free ski bus.

Upon entering the restaurant, the smell of rich cheese can be slightly overpowering, and it can linger on your clothes for a couple of days, so maybe don't wear your favourite coat! The fondue is some of the best, combining three Savoy cheeses, and you can also to accompany it with porcini mushrooms, morel mushrooms or the most luxurious, black truffle! The traditional alpine interior makes you feel like you're in a cosy mountain hut and it makes it a great, authentic evening out.
