Chalet-Restaurants and High-Altitude Bistros

While not 'restaurants' in the excluded sense, specific chalet-restaurants or high-altitude bistros provide a unique dining experience. These establishments, often located higher up the mountain or in secluded spots, focus on traditional Dauphinois and Alpine cuisine. Expect hearty dishes like 'gratin dauphinois', 'raclette', 'fondue', and local charcuterie, often prepared with regional ingredients. The atmosphere is typically cozy and rustic, offering a warm respite after outdoor activities. Some are accessible by foot or ski, others by car. Prices are moderate to high, reflecting the quality and location. A quintessential part of the La Grave experience, offering both sustenance and cultural immersion.
