To observe the mountain animalsThe "Balcon sur la Vanoise" panoramic terraces at the top of the 2003 chairlift and the Les 3 Saveurs restaurant offer a breathtaking view of the Vanoise National Park, the oldest of the French national parks. As well as being ideal spots to admire the iconic local peaks such as the Aiguille Rousse, Aliet and Bellecôte, it is not uncommon to come across a bearded vulture in flight! In addition to the picnic tables, the panoramic terrace "Balcon sur la Vanoise" at 2003 offers binoculars for observation and a photo terminal so that you can immortalise your memory before retrieving it via the Paradiski YUGE application. However, if you're more into restaurants than picnics, the high-altitude restaurant Les 3 Saveurs offers generous cuisine for a gourmet break under the sun. You'll still be able to take naps on its vintage double chairlift overlooking the unspoilt nature of Peisey-Vallandry!

To admire the Mont BlancAt the top of the new 10-seater Vallandry gondola, the living area of the same name invites you to take a relaxing break at an altitude of 2,138 m! The panoramic terrace offers a breathtaking view of Mont Blanc and the surrounding peaks. Made by local company Altibois, the outdoor furniture on the terrace has been designed for optimum comfort. You can have lunch on one of the removable picnic tables available, before taking a refreshing nap in a rocking chair. Distributors of local products from the Peisey-Nancroix cheese factory offer sandwiches, yoghurts, Beaufort AOP and Savoyard charcuterie: something to delight the gourmets! A drinks dispenser is also available, featuring coffee and tea roasted in Bourg-Saint-Maurice by L'Or Vert.

Chef Paolo Sola invites you to his native land, Piedmont, for a gastronomic journey full of colours and flavours! Here, everything is homemade and it is with undisguised pleasure that you can taste fresh pasta, salted meats and other delicious specialities. These dishes are created in the "taste laboratory" of this chef who is as welcoming as he is passionate about his work. Paolo has a fresh pasta machine, a salt cellar and a machine for sterilising his jars to guarantee optimal freshness of his ingredients! In a nutshell, Fragola di Neve is "the place to be" to sip an Aperol Spritz in the sun: a true tribute to the Italian Dolce Vita!
