A mountain restaurant in the heart of the 3 Vallées
Chez Pépé Nicolas is a high-altitude bistronomic restaurant located at 2,000 meters between Les Menuires and Val Thorens, in the Belleville Valley.
Open in both winter and summer, it offers mountain cuisine featuring, in particular, cheeses made on-site, herbs and vegetables from the garden, and local products.
- In the winter, Chez Pépé Nicolas is a mountain restaurant accessible by ski, on foot, or by car.
- In the summer, the restaurant, the alpine farm, the cheese factory, and the permaculture garden make this a place where you can simply enjoy a meal or spend the whole day.
Chaque saison, la boutique est ouverte et propose une offre allant de la vente des fromages de l’alpage, à des objets de décoration haut de gamme, en passant par de nombreux articles locaux.
At Pépé Nicolas, it’s a family story—that of Nicolas JAY, an alpine herder from Saint-Martin de Belleville, who in 1957 acquired the “La Chasse” hill for his cows’ summer grazing.
Her grandsons, and later her great-grandchildren—Margot, Lucie, and Valentin—took over the farm and transformed it into a unique place, guided by the values of authenticity, sharing, and the pursuit of excellence.
Today, what defines the Suchet family is taking the time to savor the moment in the heart of the 3 Vallées.

The Cuisine, the Ingredients, the Commitments
The cuisine at Chez Pépé Nicolas is perfect for everything from lunch to dinner, as well as for an afternoon snack, in both winter and summer.
All of our dishes, prepared by our kitchen team, are made with fresh ingredients from our garden, our mountain pasture, our fish pond, and our network of local producers—
—all of whom are committed to a high-quality, locally sourced, and environmentally friendly approach.
Our seasonal menu plays with colors, flavors, and aromas to offer you a unique mountain experience.
- The trout from our fish tank are dazzling and prepared differently each season, depending on the chef’s inspiration…
- Our fresh goat cheese, made on-site with milk from the mountain pastures, and locally grown vegetables are featured in a thin-crust tart with pesto from the garden…
- La carte est conçue de manière à satisfaire toutes les envies, pour les amateurs de viande et de poissons aussi bien que pour les végétariens.
- Of course, the menu also features traditional Savoyard fondues and mountain-style raclettes served with morels or truffles.
- Indulge in sweet treats, homemade ice cream made with milk from our alpine pastures, and matafins—enjoy them on the sunny terrace or in the trendy-traditional-chic dining room
for a truly pampering experience.

A découvrir durant la saison estivale
The high-altitude
en permaculture
Created by Magali Suchet and open during the summer, our high-altitude garden invites visitors to reflect on environmental protection and the preservation of biodiversity. The herbs, flowers, fruits, and vegetables grown at an altitude of 2,000 meters enrich the menu of our restaurant, which focuses on locally sourced ingredients.
mountain pasture farm
during the summer season
With the arrival of summer, the mountain pastures come alive again, and the farm bustles with activity, living in tune with the animals’ rhythms—especially the goat milking. We work with a commitment to the well-being of our goats, cows, chickens, pigs, turkeys, guinea fowl, rabbits, ducks, and more.
A restaurant in an exceptional setting,
in the heart of the 3 Valleys
Pépé Nicolas, a mountain “bistronomic” restaurant located between Val Thorens and Les Menuires, is a unique establishment in the French Alps in the Tarentaise region, open in both summer and winter.
In winter…
Located in the heart of the 3 Vallées ski area, Chez Pépé Nicolas is accessible in winter by shuttle, on foot, on snowshoes, or on skis. From Courchevel, Méribel, Val Thorens, or Les Menuires via Les Bruyères, follow the Chasse trail located at the base of the Pluviomètre trail. We also have a private shuttle to pick you up and drop you off.
In summer…
In summer, you can come by foot, mountain bike, pushchair, car or shuttle bus from the Belleville valley. After crossing the Les Menuires resort, on the third hairpin bend, there is a car park, followed by a short 5-minute walk accessible to all.
