L’Alpage des Fermes in Megève

Perched at an altitude of 1,800 metres on the Rochebrune massif, L’Alpage des Fermes de Marie offers a delightful table d’hôte with a view. After taking the La Caboche or Rochebrune cable car, then travelling by 4x4 or on foot along the alpine pasture trails, you discover an authentic mountain refuge with wooden floors and walls clad in ancelles, weathered wooden shingles, with its fireplace, old chests, hay racks and dressers.

The magical view plunges over the cirque of the Col du Véry, Mont Charvin and the Aravis. Here you sip an aperitif made with raspberry wine created by Jocelyne Sibuet, over lunch or a full-moon dinner, before tucking into a generous buffet followed by a barbecue showcasing homemade pâté en croûte, “stone soup”, polenta sticks, hand-cut mountain ham, mountain stream trout with Alpine salt and garden herbs. For dessert, swoon over red fruit soup, blueberry or rhubarb tart, wild berry soup and homemade clafoutis. And at dinner, a babysitter looks after the children while the grown-ups sit down to eat. An address for epicurean dreamers.

Staying in one of our chalets? Your Chalet Manager will book your table at L’Alpage and arrange your journey up to the refuge.
