Chalet du Lac Besson Restaurant

The perfect mountain stop off for both skiers and hikers a little off the beaten track

Location Alpe d’Huez Featured in Restaurants Updated

Open throughout the winter and summer seasons, pedestrians and skiers alike can enjoy this mountain restaurant.

Enjoy a number of traditional Savoyard specialties at this restaurant and either sit out on the terrace in the sun, or enjoy the cosy interior on a bad weather day.

Pedestrian access from Alpe d'Huez is via a short walk around the frozen lake and for skiers heading down the Chamois track, you will find the restaurant on the right at the Boulevard des Lacs.

In summer, the restaurant is actually accessible by car and there are 400 available parking spaces once the snow has melted.

Booking is recommended especially during peak season as the restaurant can get very busy. Open in the winter and summer seasons from 09:00 to 17:00.
