Courmayeur Mont Blanc is welcoming a star-studded line up of Michelin starred chefs and sommeliers this March (2023) for the second edition of ‘Peak of Taste’. Joining forces with local chefs, five internationally acclaimed chefs will create a series of events showcasing the very best of Aosta Valley’s produce and Northern Italy’s traditional cuisine.
Situated in the heart of the Italian Alps, Courmayeur is known for its luxury accommodation and large selection of fine-dining restaurants. Culinary events will take place across the resort, when guests are invited to meet and eat at altitude with some of the most best known chefs in the region.
Events are scheduled to include Michelin Star curated dining experiences at slopeside restaurants, an aperitif tasting at the highest peak in Europe – Punta Helbronner Station in Skyway Monte Bianco – followed by a descent to the Pavilion, at 2,173m, for dinner in the mountains. Wine tastings and pairings will also take place with fresh and local ingredients.
Seven events will take place during March, one of the highlights of which is the 8th Mountain Gourmet Ski Experience (16-19 March) where the best local restaurants curate a dedicated itinerary centred around authentic, Italian cuisine and unique dining experiences.
