Local Cuisine & Gastronomy

The gastronomy of Alpe d'Huez and the Oisans region is deeply rooted in traditional Savoyard and Dauphiné flavors. Expect hearty mountain dishes perfect for refueling after a day outdoors. Signature dishes include 'raclette' (melted cheese scraped over potatoes and charcuterie), 'fondue savoyarde' (melted cheese dip with bread), 'tartiflette' (potato gratin with reblochon cheese, bacon, and onion), and various regional charcuterie and cheeses. 'Crozets' (small square pasta) are also a local specialty. Recommended restaurants include 'Au Grenier' for traditional Savoyard cuisine, 'L'Alpazur' for a more refined experience, and numerous piste-side restaurants offering quick and satisfying lunches. Local products like Génépi liqueur and honey are also popular. The resort offers a range from casual eateries to fine dining.
