Before you start skiing for the day get some fresh pastries in the morning at the bakery, Le Fournil de Cannelle.
For an energy fuelled lunchtime meal or snack go to Changabang it’s located by the top of Prodains cable car and serves burgers and wraps. Avoid ordering the tartiflette pizza at La Falaise restaurant on the resort, it just doesn’t work.
