A hotel-restaurant at the foot of the main run back into Tignes, L’Arbina is worth considering as a lunch spot given the shortage of quality restaurants in Tignes on the mountain. The first-floor restaurant looks out over Le Lac and towards Val Claret and beyond; if the weather is nice, dine outside on the terrace and soak up the rays. Lunchtime temptations include oysters, fois gras and grilled meats. Alternatively, come back after dark if you fancy grilled lobster, veal sweatbreads or scallops and fresh tuna Oriental style.
