The immersive experience features 18 private wooden chalets imported directly from France, each accommodating groups of six to eight people. Upon arrival, guests will be welcomed with mulled wine before being escorted to their private alpine retreat by a French-speaking guide.
The star attraction is undoubtedly the fondue itself – a rich blend of Comté, Beaufort, Emmental, and Vacherin cheeses imported from France, melted with white wine, kirsch, and spices. The recipe has been crafted in collaboration with French cheesemongers to ensure authenticity. Crunchy bread, cured meats, and a selection of French wines complete the alpine feast.
For those with a sweet tooth, select sessions offer a special cheese and chocolate fondue combo. The decadent dessert features Belgian chocolate perfect for dipping seasonal fruits and sweet treats.
After dinner, fondue ticket holders can continue their alpine fantasy at the exclusive Ski Bar, where French winter cocktails, fine wines, and specialty hot drinks are served. The bar also offers traditional “digestif” liqueurs – after-dinner shots designed to help visitors feel lighter following their hearty meal.
