Savoyard dishes: the must-try foods during your stay in the mountains!

Because a trip to the mountains isn't complete without a hearty Savoyard meal featuring cheese, our team has selected their favorite dishes for you.
Come enjoy them in Tignes La Rosière away!

Summary

1 – Savoyard fondue

A hidden oasis of freshness in the woods of Tignes

Elevation gain: 150m | Time: 1 hour 30 minutes round trip

Who doesn't remember the fondue scene in the cult film "Les Bronzés font du ski"?
This dish made with white wine and various cheeses (Tomme de Savoie, Beaufort, Comté, Emmental, and even Reblochon) has become a tradition for any trip to the mountains!
And watch out for forfeits for those who drop their piece of bread... ?

Our team loves adding mushrooms such as morels or porcini to fondue...pure bliss!

2 – Savoyard diots with crozet gratin

The diot de Savoie is THE Savoyard sausage par excellence!

Smoked, plain, or even flavored with Beaufort cheese...it comes in many different forms. It is often served with a delicious tartiflette or crozet gratin.
For those who are unfamiliar with crozets, they are small square Savoyard pasta traditionally made from buckwheat flour (they are now also available in durum wheat).

3 – Croziflette (vegetarian version)

If you're familiar with tartiflette... Have you ever tried Croziflette?
Similar to tartiflette, it is made with Reblochon cheese and cream, but the potatoes are replaced by CROZETS! And for those who prefer vegetarian dishes, our team loves to swap the bacon for leeks!
The most indulgent cooks even cook the crozets in milk. But shhh... it's a secret!

4 – The "Persillé de Tignes"

Rare and rustic, the Persillé de Tignes a traditional cheese made from goat’s and cow’s milk. Shaped like a small cylinder, this cheese is “persillé” in name only! In fact, “persillé” refers to the texture of the cheese, which once resembled a parsley leaf (though it’s eaten fresher today).
Today, with about a hundred goats and fifteen cows, only one producer carries on this tradition near Tignes, in the Tarentaise Valley. You can even buy it directly from her!

5 – Blueberry pie

These little blue berries that line the hiking trails in summer are not only pretty to look at... They are also delicious in jam, coulis, and especially in pies!

Many mountain huts and restaurants offer this Savoyard specialty as their signature dessert. A guaranteed success!

If you are staying in one of our Alpapart residences, raclette and fondue sets are available on request!
Our receptionists will also be happy to recommend the best places to try our Savoyard specialties.
