Looking for a quiet, sunny break in the Les Menuires ski area? Our high-altitude restaurant offers much more than just a food court accessible from the Chasse piste. Our terraces have become a veritable institution for skiers and mountain lovers in search of authenticity and suspended moments.
Terraces with exceptional panoramic views
Imagine yourself comfortably seated on our sunny terraces, with your skis just a few steps away, facing a breathtaking panorama of the snow-covered peaks of the Alps: the Peclet-Polset glacier, the Vallon Du Lou, La Masse, the Boismint summit, … This is the unique experience we’re offering you this winter at Pépé Nicolas.
Our privileged location in the middle of the slopes offers breathtaking views, ideally south-facing on the Glacier Terrace and south-west-facing on the Alpine Terrace. Whether it’s for a lunch break, a gourmet snack or a convivial aperitif with friends, our terraces become the stage for unforgettable moments when time seems to stand still.
Winter light sublimates the scenery and creates a magical atmosphere, particularly in the late afternoon when the peaks take on golden hues. It’s in these privileged moments that we understand why so many visitors return year after year to our restaurant in Les Menuires.
