Sinanation

It has been a long time since I had lunch at Le Chalet de Pierres, but it is impossible to forget it. The food was amazing and it was the first time I witnessed such finesse and lounging at a ski resort during lunch time. Overlooking Des Verdon slope in Courchevel 1850, Le Chalet de Pierres is famous for its crepes and extensive dessert buffet displayed on the terrace on sunny days.

The French (and the Swiss), like any other meal, occasion and setting, know how to take eating to a different level. My ski trips in America have helped me prove this hypothesis. The self-serve quick meals in American ski resorts (including Aspen) become carefully crafted occasions with waiter service on the mountain tops of France and Switzerland.
