Top 5 Mountain Side Restaurants in Portes du Soleil October 1st, 2012

Fantaski – Chatel / Pre-la-Joux
Location – First restaurant at the top of the first lift (Pierre Longue)
This restaurant is often a favourite with guests staying at our ski chalet, it’s easy to find and a great rendezvous place for a big group, loads of seating outside for sunny days and a wood burning stove inside for chilly days. Great value food with cheese burger and chips (Surfer et frites) for under €10. It can be a little slow to serve food during busy weeks of the season so a good idea to avoid the 12:30 – 13:30 rush hour.
