When you visit Morzine, you’d be forgiven for thinking that skiing would be the only thing on a visitor’s mind – but one taste of the delicious cuisine and you may just find yourself planning your next post-ski meal while still on the slopes! There’s plenty of choice in the restaurants and bars, but for really convenient and delectable meals that are served up just when you need them, nothing beats a catered chalet. Morzine has plenty to choose from in close proximity to the pistes, giving skiers a quick route on and off the slopes – for when their tummies start rumbling! One particular foodstuff the region is famous for is its cheese – take a bite of these three meals, and you’ll understand why!

Tartiflette

If you’re a seasoned Alpine skier, you’ve probably had tartiflette quite a few times before – but if you’re new to the slopes, you’re in for a treat! The meal is made from a recipe containing potatoes, onions, bacon, cream, and (of course) melted cheese, all served up with greens and deli meats. It can be an incredibly filling meal, and one that is often served up in a catered chalet. Morzine is home to several such cheese dishes, but none provide such a filling lunch or dinner. It’s a substantial and satisfying meal, and it often prompts a leisurely walk around town afterwards!

Raclette

Both the name of the dish, and of the cheese that forms the crucial ingredient, raclette involves a tabletop grill instead of a pot – melted on the grill, the cheese is then scraped onto your plate (hence why it’s called ‘raclette’, from the French word meaning ‘to scrape’). The meal comes with a dizzying variety of sides, like pickled gherkin, boiled potatoes, beef, ham, bread, and salami, all used to mop up the cheese. Raclette is a meal that’s best savoured slowly, perhaps whilst sharing skiing stories in the comfort of your catered chalet. Morzine is quite rightly famed for its raclette, and it makes a wonderful memory of your skiing trip.

Fondue

Save the best until last – no dish is more iconic of Morzine and winters spent skiing than fondue! The host will bring out a large pot with a burner beneath to keep the contents warm, and plates laden with breads, vegetables and meats to be dipped into the pot, which is full to the brim with cheese melted from the heat of the fire. The traditional cheese is sometimes replaced by bourguignon (making it meat fondue) or broth (for Chinese fondue), and there’s no dessert like the chocolate fondue in a catered chalet. Morzine visitors on their skiing trips can sample all kinds of fondue at their leisure – there are enough different types to satisfy any palate!
