La Bergerie de Planpraz
Planpraz, France
At Planpraz above Chamonix, La Bergerie makes lunch part of the mountain outing. Its wooden chalet has a fireplace for cold days and a south-facing terrace looking towards the Mont Blanc range. Wood-fired meats and Savoyard specialities anchor the food, with the generous style that suits a day outdoors. The restaurant is close to the Planpraz gondola’s upper station and welcomes pedestrians as well as skiers. Reserve a table and plan around lift operations and the final descent.
