Mountain restaurants
For a bite of lunch or a relaxing break on the terrace, try out some of the mountain restaurants that are open all summer: don't hesitate to book your table.
Remember
- In your backpack: sunglasses, water, sunscreen, warm and/or waterproof clothing, walking poles, ...
- Stroller access is only possible at the Prorel gondola in Briançon, the Ratier gondola and the Serre Chevalier cable car in Chantemerle: bring a baby bottle so your baby can drink (swallowing relieves the pressure in their ears) and keep checking that everything is OK on the way up (if you have any questions, ask a doctor’s advice beforehand).
- Our four-legged friends are also welcome on the mountain: they must be kept on a leash. If you plan on using a chairlift, only small animals that can be carried in a suitable bag are allowed.
To ensure your trip in the mountains goes without a hitch please check the timetables.
