Maya Altitude: gourmet treats above the slopes

In Méribel, at the crossroads of Les 3 Vallées, the Maya Altitude restaurant offers a delightful gourmet pause at an altitude of 2300 metres.
At the top of the Tougnète 2 and Saint Martin Express chairlifts, Maya Altitude overlooks one of the runs in Les 3 Vallées, the world's largest skiing domain. A fabulous setting thanks to its vast terrace (seating 150 guests), offering a stunning panoramic view all day long of the Vallée de Belleville and the majestic peaks of Mont Blanc.

 

Inside, there reigns a warm, comforting atmosphere thanks to very colourful decor of Himalayan and Tibetan inspiration, signed by architect Sylvestre Murigneux of Hong King, already laying claim to Le Refuge de la Traye. The dining-room (150 seats) is also remarkable for its imposing Charcoal Grill, its butcher's chopping block, and  its meat maturing cellar.

 

"Maya Altitude proposes multicultural bistronomic cuisine inspired by the Near East and Asia, with a selection of signature dishes from the restaurants MayaBay, Maya Jah and Maya Mia in Monaco – with a nod and a wink to specialities from Savoy," explains Stéphane Desprez, the restaurant's Chef. The result? Perfectly mastered fusion, highlighting both local and exotic flavours. Two exceptional cooking techniques are also given a place of honour at the Maya Altitude: the Charcoal Grill and a terra-cotta tandoori oven. "We switch on the oven two hours before it is used. Whether heated by charcoal or gas, its temperature attains 300 degrees. It is used to cook skewered meat, fish or vegetables," says the Chef. Bringing out the purity of their taste, these two techniques are proposed when ordering your dishes.

 

Open until the ski-runs close, Maya Altitude is also a festive setting for meeting up with friends, savouring high-end cocktails and outstanding liqueurs, while enjoying  acoustic concerts or live DJ sets. An exclusive, high-altitude experience, not to be missed!
