When does the service begin and end?
The service begins with dinner on Saturday evening and ends after dinner on Friday evening, providing six evening meals during your stay.
Breakfast and afternoon tea are provided on five days only. Neither is served on the chef's day off, which is normally Wednesday, although this can be flexible. Breakfast is also not provided on the morning of departure.
Are you flexible with the time we eat?
Dinner time is agreed in advance and your chef plans preparation and service around it.
We allow 5-10 minutes' tolerance; beyond that, chefs can't extend their working day, so please tell us if your plans might make you late. Full details are in our Terms & Conditions
What is host service?
For groups larger than 10, we add a chalet host to work alongside your chef. The host serves each course at the table, clears between courses, keeps drinks topped up and looks after the dining room, so the chef can stay focused on the food and your group can stay seated and enjoy the evening. The host also helps with breakfast and afternoon tea service, and tidies the kitchen and dining areas afterwards.
What is AOC wine?
AOC stands for Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée, France’s official designation of controlled origin. It means the wine comes from a specific region and must meet defined rules governing its production. The designation guarantees its origin and adherence to those standards, giving you an authentic taste of France’s wine-making traditions.

Discover Chamonix
The Chamonix Valley is unlike anywhere else in the Alps. Set beneath Mont Blanc, it combines world-class skiing and dramatic scenery with a lively town, excellent restaurants and a cosmopolitan feel.
From the historic streets of Chamonix to the quieter villages and ski areas along the valley, there's no shortage of places to stay, ski and explore.
After a day on the slopes, a private chef in your chalet completes the trip. From relaxed family suppers to elegant dinner parties and our Classic 6-Day Package, Mountain Relish connects you with chefs who create memorable dining in your chalet.
Chamonix Mont-Blanc
Chamonix wasn't built around skiing. It's a mountain town with centuries of history, and that's part of its appeal. Sitting beneath Mont Blanc, it has long drawn climbers, guides and alpinists from around the world. For decades it was the ski-bum capital of the world, a place where serious mountain people came for the climbing, skiing and freedom, and often stayed for the lifestyle.
That spirit hasn't disappeared, though the town has changed. Today Chamonix is cosmopolitan, with an international crowd, smart hotels, independent shops, excellent restaurants and a surprisingly good run of micro-brasseries. Walk a few streets from the centre and it's still a little rough around the edges. Sit outside with a beer, watch guides carry ropes through town, and you're part of a story that began long before modern ski tourism.
Chamonix is also home to ENSA, the École Nationale de Ski et d'Alpinisme, where France's ski instructors and mountain guides train. It says a lot about the valley: the mountains are taken seriously here. To understand Chamonix properly, spend a day with a local guide. Whether it's ski touring, off-piste or simply exploring beyond the marked pistes, a guide will show you a side of the valley that's easy to miss from the lifts.
The skiing is a different story. The lift system is old-fashioned next to the slick, interconnected network of somewhere like the Three Valleys. Getting between areas can mean buses, queues and a little patience, and you won't cruise from one end of the valley to the other in a day. That's part of the character. In return you get very different mountain experiences, from the high-alpine terrain of Grands Montets to the wooded slopes of Les Houches and the legendary off-piste routes that made Chamonix famous.
Back in town, après-ski is lively without feeling manufactured, and the restaurant scene is one of the valley's real strengths. Alongside traditional Savoyard cooking you'll find ambitious contemporary restaurants, intimate bistros and atmospheric micro-brasseries, where the focus is on good food and local atmosphere rather than being seen.
Chamonix is hard to sum up as just a ski resort. It's a living mountain town with an unmistakable identity: part alpine history, part international meeting place, and still, underneath it all, a little bit wild.
Argentière
Argentière sits at the northern end of the Chamonix Valley, beneath the dramatic Argentière Glacier and the Aiguille Verte. At around 1,250 metres, it has a distinct village atmosphere and feels quite different from the busier centre of Chamonix. Its old streets, traditional buildings and historic church give it a strong connection to the mountain culture that has shaped the valley.
For skiers, Argentière is particularly well placed for the Grands Montets ski area, one of the valley's best-known destinations for experienced skiers and freeriders. The area around Argentière also offers excellent opportunities for ski touring, Nordic skiing and winter walks, while the surrounding mountains provide an impressive backdrop wherever you are in the village.
Argentière is also a great base for exploring further up the valley. The traditional hamlet of Le Tour is close by, with access to the Balme–Vallorcine ski area, while Vallorcine lies further towards the Swiss border. The combination of mountain scenery, skiing and a genuine village feel makes Argentière an excellent choice for a catered chalet holiday.
After a day in the mountains, having your own private chef return to the chalet is a particularly appealing part of staying in Argentière. Enjoy a relaxed dinner, good wine and time with your group without having to head back out into the cold.
Le Tour & Vallorcine
At the far end of the Chamonix Valley, Le Tour and Vallorcine feel a world away from the bustle of Chamonix. The villages are smaller, the skiing quieter and the whole area has a remote, traditional alpine feel.
The Balme-Vallorcine ski area has a good mix of open slopes and tree-lined runs, with excellent skiing when conditions are right. It's far more relaxed than Grands Montets, and that's part of its charm.
This is also where you can ski right up to the Swiss border. For those who like to explore beyond the piste, the mountains open up towards Trient and the Swiss side of the Mont Blanc massif, making this a particularly good base for ski touring. You can start from the valley and head into another country without getting in a car or catching a bus.
Le Tour is a small, quiet village with a handful of places to eat and drink, while Vallorcine feels even more tucked away. If you want somewhere peaceful to stay, with good access to the mountains and the option of skiing into Switzerland, this end of the valley is hard to beat.
