L'Alpage des Fermes in Megève

Perched at an altitude of 1,800 meters in the Rochebrune massif, L'Alpage des Fermes de Marie offers delicious home-style meals with a view. After taking the Caboche or Rochebrune cable car, then traveling by 4x4 or on foot along the alpine trails, you’ll discover an authentic mountain refuge with a wooden floor and walls clad in “ancelles”—weathered wooden shingles—complete with a fireplace, old chests, hay racks, and wall niches.

The enchanting view looks out over the Col du Véry cirque, Mont Charvin, and the Aravis Mountains. There, you can sip a raspberry wine-based aperitif created by Jocelyne Sibuet over lunch or dinner on a full-moon night, before indulging in a hearty buffet followed by a barbecue featuring homemade pâtés en croûte, “au caillou” soup, polenta sticks, hand-sliced mountain ham, stream trout seasoned with Alpine salt and local herbs. On the sweet side, you’ll swoon over the red fruit soup, blueberry or rhubarb tart, wild berry soup, or even the homemade clafoutis. And for dinner, a babysitter looks after the children while you sit down to eat. A must-visit for contemplative epicureans.
