We want to ensure that all our guests enjoy an outstanding dining experience. We take special dietary requirements seriously and are experienced in catering for vegetarians, vegans and guests with intolerances to gluten, nuts or dairy. Whatever your dietary needs, we’re happy to discuss them with you.

When should I let you know?

If you or any members of your travel party have any special dietary requirements, it’s important that you inform us upon booking so that we can work with you in advance to ensure your needs are met. Some alternative ingredients for those with specific requirements are not readily available in ski resorts, so in certain situations it may be necessary to discuss the possibility of bringing particular items with you.

What shall I do when I arrive?

Upon arrival in your chalet, have an open conversation with your chef about what you can and cannot eat. They will be delighted to further discuss your needs and work with you to tailor your menu accordingly.

What about food allergies?

While every care is taken to ensure the safety of our guests, unfortunately we cannot fully guarantee the complete avoidance of cross contamination within the chalet kitchens (e.g. nuts) and therefore cannot accept any liability in the event of an allergic reaction. Should you have a serious food allergy, it’s even more important that you discuss your needs with us prior to booking and speak to your chalet staff upon arrival.

What kinds of meals will I get?

In line with the sociable dining experience we offer, we are committed to ensuring that you enjoy the same standard of food and similar meals to your fellow guests. Where possible wheat-free bread, flour and pasta will be sourced, as well as soy milk and nut-free options. Your chalet staff will do their utmost to offer you the best alternatives based on their tried and tested menus.

The Free From Menu tab demonstrates the type of dishes you can expect to enjoy on your holiday with us if you have special dietary requirements.

Please note that all menus are subject to change and at your chef’s discretion.
