Situated at La Daille gondola on the main link between Tignes and Val d’Isere, La Fruitière is a must for eating in Tignes. Decorated in the style of an Alpine milking parlour – complete with milk cans and faux cheese wheels- dairy is a running theme. Indeed, the menu is unsurprisingly heavy; recommended is a bowl of crozet a la creme (Savoyard pasta), accompanied by a nice, crisp white wine.
Feuilleté Savoyard – melted local cheese and ham, sandwiched in a pastry crust and served on a slate platter – is another delicious option. Non-skiers can meet up with their skiing friends using the Daille gondola lift.
