le petit chaperon rouge

Where to start with one of my favorite restaurants in the French Alps? I lived in La Plagne for the ²⁰⁰⁷⁄₂₀₀₈ winter season, I have been to this restaurant and its neighboring ‘Sports Bar’ on dozens of occasions. It is located in Plagne 1800, just across the piste from the main road and within easy stumbling /​sledging distance back to your chalet. The ease of access does depend on the snow depth, after a heavy snow fall you may have to wade through the powder, but usually the owners cut a path through to the front doors. The building its self is a rustic log building typical of La Plagne from its years as a mining community. The interior is traditional, with open log fires and simple wooden furniture and the atmosphere is warm and friendly. The menu has many local delicacies such as the Piere Chaud or ‘Hot Rock’, Cheese fondue or raclette. After you have had your fill in the restaurant make sure you head next door to the sports bar which has the most bizarre interior of any bar in La Plagne. When your ready for bed its only a short walk, but if you ask very nicely the owners may even take you home on their snowmobile!

La Plagne figure parmi les plus stations les plus moches en Europe; le site est totalement défiguré par des paquebots des neiges ou des cités dortoirs.
La plupart des pistes sont nulles (exception: La Emile Allais) et on passé son temps en traversées; il y a néanmoins un très beau stade de slalom et d’excellents hors-​pistes
C’est moche donc mais en plus on y mange très mal à l’exception notable de ce restaurant savoyard situé en contrebas de Plagne 1800 sur les pistes.
le cadre est authentique sans verser dans la paire de skis accrochée aux murs.
J’y ai mangé une excellente fondue (bien que séparée) et les prix sont raisonnables (environ 25 euros pour un repas complet avec vin)
