For our last spring break fling, we went up to a favorite restaurant, the Refuge de Frience, a rustic chalet out on a field way up in the mountains that you hike...
or slide to.
Surrounded by snowfields, everyone went sliding around on saucers before going inside for an open hearth and mulled wine.
Carolyn & Jack.
Elle gave rides to Jack & Michael.
The food is excellent at the refuge. They serve up traditional fondue and raclette (melted cheese on potato) and grill ribsteak, too. Unlike elsewhere, where a block of cheese is melted under an electric element, a huge raclette wheel is held by a guy in front of a vertical grate of stacked wooden briquets. A heavy job, the waiters split raclette duty on alternate evenings.
A cozy chalet set upon a ridge overlooking the valley and surrounded by mountains; cowbells hang from the old beams. We ended spring break with a Heidi-esque experience.
