Exquisite dining - As you want it



Food is at the heart of everything we do at Hip Hideouts. Our luxury chalet chefs are some of the most qualified in the Alps with years of experience in 5 star hotels, Michelin starred restaurants and super-yachts. Each chef brings their style and flair to their catered chalet to create unique and bespoke seasonal menus. Trained to the highest standards, our chefs have the ability to cater to a range of cuisines and dietary requirements. They will contact you before your arrival to discuss what you would like during your stay - we know it's all about the fine detail. We like to keep our menus fresh, interesting and on the lighter side - but you decide. Our chefs serve breakfast on seven mornings and dinner on five evenings. We also include champagne and canapés on an evening of your choosing.




Manuel Dias

Every year the standard of our food is getting better and the team for this winter is expected to be the strongest yet.

All of our chefs are experienced professionals and have worked many years in some of the top restaurants and private residences in the world. We step away from tradition, to excite and delight with new flavours, cultures and combinations. Our chefs are there to consult with, and our service is to provide you with dishes that will surprise and delight you.
