Le Génépi

Le Génépi is the wood-panelled Savoyard room in the village — the fondue, the raclette, the cheese cellar that the alpine regulars have kept for thirty years. The kitchen runs the canonical mountain menu with the precision of a room that has had the same chef-owner across the decades, and the dinner is the right answer for the snowy evening that wants the proper alpine meal.

Book the corner table for four, take the fondue and the cured meats, drink the white Apremont. The room is the right Courchevel answer for the second-evening dinner that the long-stay regulars take with the children — and the kind of address that the village protects from the festive lists.
