Food & Gastronomy
The gastronomy of the French Alps is a hearty celebration of alpine flavors and traditions. Shaped by the rugged terrain and cold climate, this cuisine features rich, comforting dishes designed to warm and fuel those in the region. Firstly, Fondue Savoyarde, made with local cheeses like Beaufort, Comté, and Emmental, is a quintessential specialty, typically enjoyed with crusty bread. Additionally, another iconic dish is raclette, where melted cheese is scraped over boiled potatoes, cured meats, and pickles. Moreover, Tartiflette, a gratin of potatoes, Reblochon cheese, onions, and lardons, showcases the region’s love for robust fare. The French Alps are also known for their cured meats, such as saucisson and jambon cru, reflecting the tradition of preserving food for long winters. To conclude a meal, one might savor a slice of blueberry tart or a piece of nutty, caramelized nougat de Montélimar.
