Why Courchevel’s Elite Trust Twister Agency: Reviews & Heritage
Excellence in Courchevel 1850: The Signature of High Living
( Private Chef Courchevel, Palace Service, Butler, Fine Dining)
In the secluded enclaves of Jardin Alpin, Chenus, or Nogentil, excellence is not merely an option—it is the unspoken language. My clients, whether owners of prestigious chalets or UHNW guests, seek more than just a chef: they demand the soul of a Palace Hotel within the privacy of their home.

The Twister Agency Experience: In Our Clients' Words
A Rare Alchemy: The Chef’s Hand, The Butler’s Eye "What sets Cyrille apart is his dual perspective. Unlike a chef who stays hidden in the kitchen, he possesses the DNA of Palace service (Head Butler since 2001). He reads the room, anticipates the wine service, and manages the atmosphere. It is a fluidity we have never seen elsewhere." — Resident Family, Courchevel 1850.
Haute Couture Events: From Orthodox Christmas to Corporate Dining "We engaged the agency for a complex week: an Orthodox Christmas celebration with caviar and tradition, followed by corporate dinners. The mastery of cultural codes and absolute discretion (NDA) were flawless. A true 'Haute Couture' performance without a single false note." — International Client, Private Chalet.
Rediscovered Serenity: Invisible Stewardship "With the 'Serenity' Half-Board service, we truly rediscovered our holiday. Breakfast ready upon waking, invisible housekeeping, and gastronomic dinners at night. It is the comfort of a Grand Hotel, with added intimacy." — Group of Friends, Méribel.

1. The Philosophy: Terroir Sublimated
(Focus: Market-Fresh & Local Valley Products)
My Kitchen is not static; it lives to the rhythm of the Courchevel valley. Every morning, I select my produce with one obsession: absolute freshness and authenticity.
Market-Fresh Kitchen: I do not work from a fixed catalogue, but by the instinct of the seasons. Spontaneous, vibrant, and colourful cooking, inspired by the day's catch and harvest.
Gold of the Valley: Aged Beaufort cheese from high pastures, meats from our Savoyard breeders, wild mountain herbs. I work directly with local producers to bring the terroir of the 3 Valleys straight to your plate.
Convivial Dinners: True luxury is also found in the simplicity of a great dish shared together. A hay-smoked rib of beef, a revisited truffle fondue, or slow-cooked dishes that bring the family together after skiing.
Chef’s Note: "To guarantee this quality, I strictly limit the number of bookings per week. [Discover my quality charter and local producers here]."

High-Altitude Nutrition: How to Boost Your Recovery on the Slopes
High-Altitude Nutrition: How My Menus in Courchevel Boost Your Recovery
Carving down the black runs of La Saulire or tackling off-piste descents demands immense energy. Yet, traditional mountain cuisine (heavy fondues, raclettes) is often the enemy of recovery. As a former high-level athlete turned Private Chef, I have developed a unique approach in Courchevel: "Performance Gastronomy." Dining like a King, while training like an athlete.
1. The Altitude Challenge: Why Your Body Needs More
At 1850 metres, your metabolism shifts. The cold, the hypoxia (lower oxygen levels), and intense physical effort burn through your glycogen stores far faster than at sea level. The classic mistake? Compensating with heavy saturated fats which monopolise your digestive energy, leaving little for muscle repair.
The Athlete’s Insight: "During my sports career, I learned that a poorly calibrated meal could ruin the next day's performance. As a Chef, I apply this discipline to your dinners: the pleasure must be immediate, but the digestion must be invisible." — Cyrille Witz
2. The "Twister Protocol": Where Taste Meets Vitality
My culinary approach rests on a precise balance, designed for demanding skiers who refuse to choose between indulgence and physical fitness.
Noble Fats, Not Heavy Creams: I replace heavy dairy with vegetable emulsions, walnut oils, or intense reduced jus. The flavour is powerful, the texture silky, but the dish remains light.
Alpine Superfoods: To repair muscle fibre, I favour local lake fish (Omble Chevalier) or low-temperature cooked poultry. I integrate wild blueberries (antioxidant bombs) and mountain honey to fight the oxidative stress caused by altitude.
3. On the Plate: An "Active Recovery" Menu
Forget bland diet food. Here is what a dinner designed to optimise your next ski day looks like:
Starter: Scallop Carpaccio with citrus vinaigrette and roasted hazelnut oil (Omega-3s and Freshness).
Main Course: Roast Cod or Bresse Poultry, sweet potato mousseline with ginger (Moderate GI carbs to recharge batteries without an insulin spike).
Dessert: Citrus soup with lemon thyme or my revisited "Chocolat Liégeois" (refined sugar-free).
4. The Result: Experience Courchevel at 100%
My clients often tell me: "This is the first time I've eaten so well all week without feeling heavy in the morning." By entrusting me with your meals, you are buying the ultimate luxury: Energy. The energy to be the first on the slopes every morning, fresh and ready to conquer the 3 Valleys.

he 5 Most Exclusive Chalets in Courchevel for a Private Dinner
Luxury Chalet Dining Courchevel | Top 5 Venues by a Private Chef
An insider's tour of the kitchens and dining rooms of Courchevel's most prestigious addresses.
Courchevel 1850 boasts more than just the world's largest ski area; it is home to a collection of private chalets that rival the grandest Palace hotels. As a Private Chef, I have the privilege of presiding over these exceptional kitchens. Here is my curation of the most spectacular settings for a dining experience, from Jardin Alpin to Cospillot.
1. The Iconic Chalet Edelweiss (Bellecôte) With its 3,000m² and a commercial-grade kitchen worthy of a Michelin star, this is the ultimate playground for a chef.
Why I love cooking here: The dining room allows for absolutely seamless 'White Glove' service. It is the ideal setting for my formal gala dinners where protocol and etiquette are paramount.
2. Chalet La Grande Roche (Cospillot) Perched on the forest edge, this chalet offers rare intimacy and seclusion.
The Dining Experience: The grand table facing the Vanoise mountain range inspires a style of cooking that is both rustic and elegant—true terroir. This is where my 'Game & Forest' or 'Truffles & Wood' menus truly come into their own.
3. Chalet Gentianes (Bellecôte Piste) Genuine 'Ski-in / Ski-out' luxury.
The Key Moment: This is the perfect chalet for my terrace lunches. Imagine a prime cut of beef, grilled and served right in front of the skiers hurtling down the piste, yet enjoyed from the absolute comfort of your own residence.
4. The Chalets of Jardin Alpin (The Pinnacle of Luxury) In this ultra-exclusive sector, the quiet is profound.
My Personal Touch: The kitchens here are often equipped with state-of-the-art technology. This allows me to execute precision low-temperature cooking for my athletic clients focused on recovery (The Twister Protocol).
5. The Art of Living in Nogentil The chalets in this quarter are often gems of contemporary design.
The Atmosphere: Ideal for modern 'Cocktail Dining' or sophisticated canapé receptions, where I can express a more graphic, refined, and minimalist culinary style.
Conclusion: Regardless of a chalet’s architectural beauty, it is the soul one breathes into it that counts. My role is to bring these walls to life with aromas, flavours, and service that transforms a holiday rental into a true 'home from home'.

Caviar & Truffle Dinners Courchevel 1850 | Private Chef
Caviar & Truffle: The Quintessential Elements for your Soirées in Courchevel 1850
How I source and elevate Black Gold and White Diamonds for your gala dinners.
In Courchevel 1850, luxury is the standard. However, true excellence lies in the provenance of the produce. Caviar and Truffles are not merely ingredients; they are cultural markers, rituals in their own right. As a Private Chef with a background in Palace hotels, I refuse to compromise on these two star products. Here is my philosophy for bringing them to your table.
1. Caviar: An Impeccable Selection I do not work with standard intermediaries. I source my tins directly from the most prestigious houses (Kaviari, Petrossian, or exceptional producers from Aquitaine).
The Service Ritual: As a former butler, I understand that caviar commands respect. It is served with a mother-of-pearl spoon (to prevent oxidation of the taste), atop a bed of crushed ice, accompanied by my warm homemade buckwheat blinis and freshly whipped Isigny cream.
The Perfect Pairing: An ice-cold Beluga Gold Line vodka for my Russian clients, or a vintage Blanc de Blancs Champagne to underscore the briny notes.
2. The Truffle: Black or White, a Question of Seasonality
The Mélanosporum (Black Truffle): The Queen of Winter. I feature it in my "Signature Scrambled Eggs" for the following day’s brunch, or slipped under the skin of a Bresse Chicken for a roast dinner.
The White Alba Truffle: The ultimate luxury. It is never cooked. I shave it generously, right before your eyes at the very last moment, over fresh tagliatelle or a 36-month Parmesan risotto. It is an aromatic spectacle that perfumes the entire chalet.
3. Why Commission a Chef? Anyone can purchase a tin of caviar. But knowing how to strike the perfect balance, managing service temperatures, and creating accompaniments that complement rather than overpower the produce—that is precisely where my expertise lies.

Artisan Cheese & Dry-Aged Meat Selection | Courchevel 1850
Curating Excellence: My Secret Sources for Cheese & Fine Meats in Courchevel
Subtitle:The secret to a masterpiece lies in the ratio: 80% exceptional produce, 20% technique. Opening my confidential address book.
You arrive in Courchevel for the pristine slopes, but you return for the taste of the terroir. The Savoy region is nothing short of a culinary treasure chest for a chef. Far removed from industrial supply chains, I have spent years forging intimate connections with the master artisans of the Tarentaise Valley. When I cook for you, the entire spirit of the valley is invited to your table.
1. Cheese: The Alpine Gold
A ski holiday without cheese is unthinkable, yet one must be discerning.
Beaufort d’Été (AOP): I source directly from the Cooperative, strictly selecting "summer wheels"—richer, more floral, and creamy—aged for over 18 months in the mountain cellars.
Bleu de Bonneval : A marbled delicacy that I often craft into a delicate sauce to accompany red meat; a superior, local alternative to Roquefort.
The Signature Cheeseboard : I never simply "serve" cheese. I present it with homemade chutneys (fig, rosemary-infused apricot) and warm, artisanal walnut bread.
2. Meats: The Robust Spirit of the Land
Savoyard Lamb & Beef : I collaborate exclusively with the valley’s heritage butchers (such as the historic Boucherie de Bozel) and direct breeders. I hunt for dry-aged cuts with genuine character, perfect for slow-roasting in the oven until tender.
Wild Game (In Season): For the true connoisseur, I procure locally sourced venison or roe deer, paired with wild lingonberries foraged at high altitude.
3. The "Twister Protocol": Wellness meets Terroir
Dining locally means dining well. These raw, unadulterated ingredients are nutrient-dense. My philosophy is to prepare them without superfluous fats, preserving their pristine flavour while ensuring you maintain your physical lightness and vitality on the slopes.

The Finest Table in Courchevel 1850? Your Own Chalet.
The Quintessential Courchevel Experience: Why the Resort’s Finest Table is in Your Own Chalet
By Cyrille Witz – Maison Twister Signature
In Courchevel 1850, excellence is par for the course. Yet, as the sun sets over La Saulire and the mountain air turns crisp, the true magic is not found within the bustle of a Michelin-starred establishment. It is found within the sanctity of your own residence.
Picture the scene. You step out of your skis, your body still humming from the thrill of the slopes. Outside, dusk is falling. Inside, the fire is already crackling. A subtle aroma of black truffle and roasting poultry drifts from the open kitchen. You have no reservations to honour, no taxis to hail, and no dress codes to adhere to.
Here is why the Private Chef experience is the very definition of the Alpine Lifestyle.
1. The Ultimate Luxury: Reclaiming Your Time
Absolute luxury isn't just about Champagne; it is about liberty. Dining out makes you a slave to the restaurant’s schedule. With Maison Twister, the service seamlessly bows to yours.
The Dream Scenario: Wish to extend your massage session? Or perhaps enjoy an aperitif in your robe while gazing at the snow-capped peaks? Dinner waits for you, not the other way around.
The Technical Edge: As your Chef, I master the art of low-temperature cooking and precise holding times. Whether you choose to dine at 8:00 PM or 9:30 PM, the quality of your rack of lamb remains identical: pristine.
2. An Exclusive Culinary Performance
In a restaurant, the kitchen is a "Black Box" hidden behind swinging doors. In your chalet, it becomes a living theatre.
Sensory Immersion: Witness the plating of your dishes. Listen to the sizzle of foaming butter in the pan. I share the story behind the summer Beaufort sourced that very morning, or the provenance of the dry-aged beef.
The Twister Technique: This is where my signature shines. I offer you the technical complexity of fine dining (intense jus, refined textures, minute emulsions) blended with the generosity of home cooking. It is Haute Couture dining, tailored specifically to you.
3. Intimacy: The New Standard of VIP
Why share your space when you can privatise excellence?
A Hushed Atmosphere: Your children’s laughter disturbs no one. Business secrets are exchanged without fear of prying ears. It is a cocoon of pure conviviality.
The Liberated Wine Pairing: Feel free to uncork your own Grand Crus, carefully stored in your cellar, with zero corkage fees. Allow me to compose the menu that will perfectly complement your vintage.
Conclusion: From Gastronomy to Emotion
Commissioning a Private Chef in Courchevel isn't about foregoing the restaurant experience. It is about choosing a deeper connection with those you love. It is about transforming a simple dinner into an indelible memory, anchored in the absolute comfort of your chalet.

Effortless Ski Holidays: The Private Chef Advantage | Courchevel
The Art of Effortless Living in Courchevel: When the Private Chef Becomes the Architect of Your Time
By Cyrille Witz – Maison Twister Signature
True luxury in the mountains is not measured in the square footage of your chalet or the horsepower of your car. It is measured in the most precious unit of all: peace of mind.
Picture the scene. You arrive in Courchevel 1850. Outside, a snowstorm is raging; inside, all is warmth, calm, and volupte. No errands to run, no reservations to chase, no taxis to hail. Why? Because you haven't merely booked a cook. By choosing Maison Twister, you have activated a logistical linchpin that transforms complex luxury holiday planning into a seamless symphony.
Here is how my role extends far beyond the plate to simplify your life.
1. The "Mental Load"? Left in the Valley.
Forget the chore of provisioning. Forget the early morning dash for fresh bread or the hunt for the perfect vintage.
The Magic of the Invisible: Before you even set down your luggage, my team has transformed your chalet. The pantry is fully stocked, sourced from the finest local producers; the wine cellar is chambré to the perfect temperature.
Absolute Time Efficiency: By delegating the entire "Food & Beverage" operation, you reclaim approximately three hours a day. Three more hours to ski, to enjoy the spa, or simply to do nothing at all. This is the essence of high-end stay organisation.
2. More Than a Chef: Your Concierge in an Apron
I am present in the heart of your living space for several hours a day. I know your tastes, your rhythm, and your immediate needs. This proximity makes me your greatest asset for Courchevel concierge services—far more reactive than an external telephone service.
Immediate Response: Fancy a table at altitude for tomorrow’s lunch? Need a private ski instructor for the youngest? Thanks to my deep local roots, I open my "little black book" to unlock doors that are often closed to the public.
The House Manager’s Eye: I watch over the chalet as if it were my own. I coordinate with housekeeping teams to ensure they intervene while you are out; I manage the delivery of firewood... You never see the backstage mechanics; you simply enjoy the show.
3. Flexibility: The Signature of True Luxury
In the mountains, things change quickly: the weather, the snow conditions, the children’s energy levels. A Michelin-starred restaurant will charge you for a cancellation. I, however, adapt.
Maison Twister Agility: Pistes closed due to high winds? I transform the planned quick lunch into a comforting feast: dry-aged rib of beef over a wood fire and truffle gratin dauphinois.
The Rhythm is Yours: Your teenagers wake up at noon? Friends returning famished from the slopes at 3 PM? Unlike a hotel, my kitchen never closes. I synchronise the service to your biological clock, not the other way around.
The Final Word: Invest in Excellence
Do not view a Private Chef as an expense, but as the essential investment of your holiday. It is the guarantee that every minute spent in Courchevel is dedicated to your pleasure, and nothing else.
Your time is precious. Do not waste it on logistics. Let Maison Twister orchestrate the details, while you simply live the exceptional.

3. Culinary & Animation Team (Executive Chef, Live Cooking)
Q6: Incentive Agencies: "Do you offer Culinary Animations (Live Cooking) to energise our cocktail hours?"
This is our speciality for ice-breaking. Our Animation Chefs step out of the kitchen to create a spectacle: Pata Negra carving stations, fresh oyster shucking, or finishing dishes with a blowtorch or liquid nitrogen in front of guests. It is visual, "Instagrammable," and encourages networking.
Corporate event culinary show.
Q7: Tour Operators: "My group is accommodated across scattered chalets. Can you deploy an Executive Chef to supervise?"
Yes. For large groups split across multiple locations, our Executive Chef designs a single, standardised menu. He then supervises the private chefs deployed in each chalet to ensure consistency in quality, plating, and timing for all guests, regardless of their location.
Multi-site executive chef management.
4. B2B Partnership (Logistics & White Label)
Q8: Agencies: "Do you work White Label? We want the client to think you are our staff."
Completely. We are your silent partners. We can wear your badges and uniforms, presenting ourselves as "The Food & Beverage Team of [Your Agency Name]." We sign non-compete and non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to protect your commercial relationship with the end client.

Luxury Chalet Stewardship: Always Guest-Ready Culinary Management
Culinary Stewardship & Estate Management
Your chalet isn’t just a holiday home. It is a Family Estate, alive and guest-ready, always.
The Art of Permanence
Imagine walking into your chalet after a long flight. The lighting is warm, the scent of freshly roasted coffee lingers, your favourite vintage is decanted to perfection, and the pantry is already stocked with your beloved essentials. With Maison Twister, the magic of arrival is instantaneous. We transform logistical management into an invisible hotel-grade experience. Your property asset is maintained, secured, and culinairement alive, 365 days a year.
1. The Pre-Arrival Commissioning: Staging Your Return
More than just stocking shelves; we curate your homecoming.
Forget the chore of grocery shopping or facing an empty fridge. Your arrival is orchestrated like a premiere.
Bespoke Provisioning: Before your jet touches down, we have sourced the finest produce from the Alps and beyond. Your preferred farm yogurts, Kaviari Caviar for the apéritif, rare exotic fruits... Everything is organized, labeled, and ready.
Kitchen System Wake-Up: A dormant kitchen is a deteriorating kitchen. We recalibrate espresso machines, fire up steam ovens, and check every seal in the cold rooms.
The Signature Welcome: A fresh "Welcome Amenity" prepared by the Chef awaits you: gourmet mignardises, fine charcuterie, or a herbal alpine infusion, tailored to your arrival time.
Luxury chalet provisioning service.
2. Cellar Stewardship: Your Liquid Assets
A cellar that lives, ages, and appreciates in value.
Your wine collection is a treasure that deserves Sommelier-level expertise, even in your absence.
Dynamic Inventory: We maintain a precise log of inflows and outflows for your Family Office. We monitor drinking windows, flagging the bottles that must be enjoyed this season.
Investment Sourcing: We utilize the off-season to secure rare allocations (Burgundy, World Wines) that are hard to find. We intelligently stock your cellar to enhance your asset value.
Technical Vigilance: Regular monitoring of humidity and temperature ensures your Pétrus or Romanée-Conti rests in pristine conditions.
Private wine cellar management.
3. Departure & Hotel-Grade Maintenance
Leave with peace of mind; return with zero surprises.
Your departure does not end our mission. We ensure the longevity of your facilities.
Clinical Deep Clean: We dismantle and disinfect invisible technical zones (filters, hoods, evaporators) to prevent sanitary issues or odors during vacancy.
Sustainable Shutdown (CSR): Per your ethical guidelines, we vacuum-seal dry goods and donate perishables to local charities. Nothing is wasted.
Closing Audit: Your House Manager receives a full report: equipment status, required restocking, and predictive maintenance to be scheduled.
Luxury property winterizing.
FAQ: Stewardship & Peace of Mind (For Family Offices)
Q1: We decide to arrive tomorrow. Can the chalet be ready?
This is the power of our Stewardship contract. We maintain a permanent "baseline stock" (luxury dry goods, beverages). Thanks to our agility and local network, we activate "Guest Ready" mode and source fresh produce in under 24 hours. True luxury is immediacy.
Last-minute chalet preparation.
Q2: How do you secure rare wines in our absence?
We operate under a transparent mandate. We define a budget and palate profile together. We purchase, receive, catalogue, and store your wines with rigorous financial reporting for your accountant. Your cellar grows richer without you lifting a finger.
Personal wine buyer Courchevel.
Q3: The chalet is empty for months. Is there a technical risk?
Stagnation is the enemy of luxury. We perform monthly technical rounds ("Courtesy Visits"). We cycle dishwashers, disposals, and ovens to prevent seizing and seal drying. We are the guardians of your culinary assets.

Ski Performance Nutrition: Private Chef Courchevel | Maison Twister
Culinary Alchemy & Alpine Performance
When Fine Dining becomes your best ski gear. The expertise of a former Athlete Chef.
Conquer the Mountain through Your Plate
Imagine carving down the Saulire's black runs without feeling the burn in your legs. Imagine waking up fresh and revitalized after an intense day at -10°C. In Courchevel, ultimate luxury isn't just about the chalet's comfort; it's about your vital energy. As a Chef and former athlete, I understand the demands of a body in motion. I turn nutrition into your competitive advantage. My cuisine is a fusion: Michelin-star technique dedicated to your stamina. Eat better to experience the mountain more intensely.
1. The "Ignition" Breakfast: Sustainable Energy
The Promise: Forget the mid-morning sugar crash on the chairlift.
A classic breakfast (croissant, jam) is a trap: it burns fast and leaves you empty. I architect your morning fuel differently.
The Athlete's Secret: I prioritize Low Glycemic Index foods and proteins for stable energy without insulin spikes.
The Experience: Organic "Perfect Eggs" cooked at 64°C (silky texture), Avocado Toast on ancestral sourdough, or my Signature Porridge with homemade almond milk and super-seeds.
The Benefit: You stay warm from the inside out. Your focus is sharp, your body ready to attack the powder until lunch.
Sports nutrition breakfast Courchevel.
2. After-Ski: The "Golden Hour" of Regeneration
The Promise: Erase fatigue to fully enjoy your evening.
Recovery happens in the 30 minutes after you take off your boots. That's when the magic happens. Don't waste this window on industrial sugar.
The Athlete's Secret: A precise recharge of electrolytes and antioxidants to flush out muscle toxins.
The Experience: Forget simple tea. I await you with Cold-Pressed "Alpine Detox" Juices (Ginger, Turmeric, Savoie Apple), clear poultry broths (natural collagen for your knees), and raw energy bars with pecans.
The Benefit: Soreness fades away. You are recharged, ready for a massage or a festive night out.
ki recovery nutrition.
3. Dinner: Light Gastronomy & Deep Sleep
A Palace-worthy feast, minus the heavy digestion.
In the mountains, people think "Fondue." But heavy cheese kills sleep quality, and thus recovery. I offer a hedonistic yet intelligent alternative.
The Athlete's Secret: Using noble fats and gentle cooking methods that promote muscle relaxation and restorative sleep.
The Experience: Wagyu Beef Tataki (rich in Omega-3 and CLA), Roast Skrei Cod with vanilla-infused celeriac purée, followed by an infusion of wild herbs hand-picked in the valley.
The Benefit: You indulge in fine dining, yet sleep like a baby. The next morning, you are the first on the slopes.
Healthy private chef Alps.
4. Alpine Bio-Hacking: Taming the Altitude
The Promise: Zero headaches, 100% pleasure.
Altitude is a physiological challenge: dehydration, headaches, light sleep. I "hack" your diet to counter these effects.
Cellular Hydration: I place carafes of Structured Water infused with electrolytes (Cucumber, Pink Salt, Lemon) throughout the chalet for maximum absorption.
Adaptogens: Without altering the taste, I integrate adaptogenic plants (Maca, Ashwagandha) into smoothies or sauces to help your body handle the stress of thinner air.
Altitude sickness nutrition solutions.
FAQ: Performance & Bespoke Needs (Expertise)
Q1: I follow a Keto or Paleo diet for performance. Are you trained for this?
This is my favorite playground. I don't just "accommodate" your diet; I elevate it. I understand the importance of macros. I will source the finest marbled meats, local churned butters, and MCT oils. You will remain in perfect ketosis while enjoying high-flying cuisine.
Keto private chef Courchevel.
Q2: How can I get my kids to eat healthy when they only want fries?
I call it "Gastronomic Camouflage." I create healthy versions of their favorites. Free-range chicken nuggets breaded with almond flour, oven-roasted sweet potato fries, a creamy chocolate mousse based on avocado (I promise, it's undetectable!). They consume elite nutrients while thinking they are devouring "Comfort Food."
Healthy kids meals holiday.
Q3: We want to ski non-stop. Do you offer packed lunches?
Absolutely. Avoid the crowds and the mountain "junk food." I prepare insulated Gastronomic Lunch Boxes. Think "Power Bowls" (Quinoa, Home-smoked Salmon, Pomegranate) or protein Wraps, easy to enjoy on a sunny terrace. Total freedom.
