Traditional Savory Tartlets ('Tourtons du Champsaur') Tasting
While Serre Chevalier has its own culinary traditions, the nearby Champsaur valley's 'Tourtons' have become a beloved regional specialty often found in Serre Chevalier's restaurants and markets. These small, golden fried savory tartlets are typically filled with potato, cheese (often tomme or gruyère), and sometimes herbs or bacon. They offer a comforting, hearty taste of mountain gastronomy. Many local eateries will feature them, and artisanal producers often sell them fresh. They are a staple of the 'raclette' or 'fondue' experience. A true taste of the Hautes-Alpes. Enjoyable year-round.
