Le Hors Pistes Restaurant, Les Houches

Despite its name, you won't need a shovel and a transceiver to safely make it to the door of this restaurant to enjoy lunch or a hot chocolate on its sunny terrace. It couldn't be more convenient to find; right at the top of the Maison Neuve chairlift and a few steps from the the famous "Kandahar" downhill course and chairlift of the same name.

Open for breakfast and lunch and serving drinks and snacks all day, this popular mountain stop off serves generous plates of hearty food to refuel tired ski legs. Pastas, steak, burgers and tartiflette are all on the menu, but be warned, this place is popular so don't forget to book your table for lunch to avoid a long wait.

If you want a dinner venue with a difference then evening meals are possible for groups of 20+ people. Booking 24h in advance is essential.
