Le Blanchot - Walk Into the Wine Cellar and Choose

Val Thorens' year-round gem with a bumper Savoie wine cellar where diners walk into the cold storage, choose their bottle, and return to hearty Savoyard fondue and raclette — the only restaurant staying open between seasons.

What to do there

TastingLe Blanchot - Walk Into the Wine Cellar and ChooseNo wine list. No sommelier hovering. Just walk to the wall-mounted shelves and choose a Savoie wine you've never heard of. Bring it to your table. Staff nods approvingly. This is wine discovery without pretension - labels you can't pronounce, producers from 15km away, and the freedom to pick based on artwork or instinct. Pair with their smoked salmon tartiflette and you've got a story worth telling.
