No smiling until I have coffee. We are on holiday so let’s get that smiling sorted ha ha.
The Chasse Montagne, Les Gets.
We chanced upon the Chasse Montagne when looking for somewhere to send an email in a snowstorm. The restaurant/hotel is tucked to the side of the piste. The interior is super chic, the coffee is not inexpensive however it is a cup of velvety awesomeness.
Located just off the Bruyere piste, immediately on the right as you pass through the tunnel after the Folliets Du Golf chairlift, it is perfectly placed to grab a coffee in Morzine. .
Lapisa, Grand Paradis, near Chambery.
We love it here at Alpage Lapisa, hidden in its own valley is a beautiful petite Alpine refuge. The views and homemade Tarte steals the show from the coffee however it is the combination of all 3 that makes it truly noteworthy. The coffee comes with a ceramic lid to keep it warm which is indicative of the thoughtful service.
Located about 500m down the piste Ripaille. If you book in for lunch and request in advance they can snowmobile you back to the top of the lift though we don’t know why you would not want to ski all the way down!
La Ferme, Petite Lindarets (the goat Village).
One way to find a good coffee is to ask a ski instructor! So we did and came across this gem. An Italian restaurant with great coffee, the instructor also said the hot chocolate is really good too. Certainly worth coming back for lunch!
Bonus! la ferme de Seraussaix (hot chocolate), Avoriaz/Morzine.
La Ferme De Seraussaix, a working farm with a welcoming shop and cafe area serving hot chocolate made with milk from the farm and where you can go and visit the cows! It does not get much better/local than that. You can ski to the farm, have your hot chocolate, buy some cheese, then put your skis on and ski round to the barn and visit the cows! Last time we went we saw a calf who was born that morning!
Located just off the Seraussaix piste before the tunnel on the right. To access the barn ski through the tunnel then take a right.
Honourable mentions
- The coffee stops at the bottom of Super Morzine (l’Anka) and Pleney (Komando kitchen).
And while we are mentioning ‘off of the piste coffee’,
- Coup De Couer, Morzine. On the main square near the ice skating rink. One of the best! Open year-round and patronised by many a local.
- Satellite, Morzine. 116 Rue Du Bourg. Owner Paul does love his coffee! You can expect coffee measured to the microgram to make sure it is perfect and water heated to the correct degree. Coffee here is science and art. Satellite also has a great environmental angle and caters well for dietarties.
- Colibri, Morzine. 96 Taille de Mas du Pleney. Great for families. Formally an old cinema there is space, hustle & bustle and a kid’s corner too!
