we have been coming to the swan for several years and have been in several altitude restaurants (not all!). I wanted to go to Montchavin/the coches, and I took the "white weather" track instead of the "white sandstones". Well took it!!! Here we are, my husband and our two children, arrested for lunch in this restaurant. which very pleasantly surprised us at first, it is the friendliness of all the staff. I am surprised because without saying that the staff of the other restaurants is unpleasant, we have never seen such warmth (and humour too!) as in this restaurant. a such point that we returned there twice then. Besides, it's okay! the terrace is very large and you can also eat inside. You...
Despite a rather welcoming and smiling staff, this establishment is the archetype of places that we will not want to see at altitude: self at the endless waiting, mediocre food or even squarely immangeable for some dishes and prices superior to those of a real restaurant with a table service. It is clear that its ideal situation at the arrival of the cable car is probably the only reason that allows it to continue to inflict this poor service to a passing clientele but that will probably not return. By continuing the track a few hundred meters down, it's better to be at ease with the "full sun" that can treat his clients' taste buds!
We took a glass on the terrace, a magical place facing the fir trees, close to the arrival of a cable car (but not too much) and a beginner track.Bref, the nice waiter asks us what we want to drink and my friend answers: "a hot wine please" and there, the waiter offers him "red or white"I didn't know and of course I tasted... so go there and order them It's delicious and it changes! Indeed, Mr. Madam of the bar-restaurant you should do much more pub there on it ;)
We returned to Montchavin and Crystal Neige for half term skiing. We ate here at the start of the week and enjoyed decent food (still a bit pricey as per my review from Feb 2016.) However we were very sad to see the restaurant gutted by fire overnight. Hoping that all at Crystal Neige can get it back up and running as soon as possible.

a beautiful place, a super hot white wine whose recipe will remain secret, simple and excellent dishes...To all bravo, your tragedy I share with you, you will rebuild and you will still make us dream with your smile and your welcome. courage of courage and a huge supportvirginia, husband, denis, cedrik (the panfoulia paris)
Been going here for the last two years, no complaints, not cheap but then again nowhere on the slopes is, it's always nice and warm inside, welcoming staff but always busy, nice place to stop outside on the veranda when the sun is shining, kids inform me the hot chocolate is the best in the region.
I was able to go with friends in this high-altitude restaurant in the off-season. Very nice restaurant with rates that are not prohibitive (unlike other restaurants of the same kind)!The croziflette, in the dish of the day, was well prepared!
So sorry to return to the restaurant in March 2017 and find that a fire had totally gutted the place. It had really good food and atmosphere. We loved it. I hope that the owner can rebuild and wish them good luck for the future.
