A private chef in Les Arcs.

A gastronomic experience in your chalet in Les Arcs.

With La Plagne, Les Arcs form the Paradiski area, one of the largest ski domains in Europe. Spread over four villages (Arc 1600, Arc 1800, Arc 1950 and Arc 2000), the resort combines singular architecture shaped by Charlotte Perriand, premium chalets and apartments with views of Mont Blanc, and a clientele of families and groups who return every winter. In chalets with large bay windows and kitchens open onto the living room, the gastronomic meal is a highlight of the stay. A Prémices chef comes to your accommodation, takes care of everything and leaves the kitchen impeccable.

For which occasions?

Après-ski dinners with family or friends

Back from the slopes, everyone gathers around a large table: a private chef turns that daily meal into a gastronomic event, with a bespoke menu, seasonal produce and table service, closing each day of skiing with the same care.

Birthdays and mountain receptions

Les Arcs is a favourite destination for group birthdays: twelve, fifteen or twenty people in a large chalet, a whole week to celebrate. Prémices adapts the chef, menu and service to the occasion and the group.

Romantic dinners facing Mont Blanc

A dinner for two in your apartment with a view of the massif, a gastronomic menu prepared in your kitchen: an experience no restaurant in the resort can offer.

Corporate events in a mountain chalet

Winter seminars, leadership dinners in the mountains, closing evenings in a private chalet: chef selection, end-to-end logistics and a menu in line with the evening's positioning. References include Air Liquide, LVMH, IBM and Bouygues Construction.

How it works.

• Your brief. Tell us the date, place, number of guests and culinary wishes. We come back to you quickly.
• Chef and menu. We choose the best-suited chef and submit a bespoke gastronomic menu for your approval.
• On the day. The chef arrives about an hour and a half before the meal with fresh produce, cooks on site and serves at the table.
• Afterwards. He leaves your kitchen clean and tidy. You have nothing to manage.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a private chef in Les Arcs cost?

Every Prémices service is quoted to measure, according to the number of guests, the complexity of the menu and the options chosen (floor service, wine pairing). Reference points are on our pricing page.

What is included?

The chef buys the fresh produce, prepares and cooks on site, serves at the table and clears the kitchen at the end of the evening, using your tableware. Drinks are not included unless agreed. For a complete experience with sommelier or maître d'hôtel, see our private chef service.

How many guests can a private chef cook for?

From two people for a romantic dinner to twenty guests and more for a reception, and several evenings in a row for a week's stay. The format is set when preparing the quote.
