READY FOR A TIMELESS EXPERIENCE!

Enjoy an original Aper-Haut suspended in mid-air for about 50 minutes, in one of the 20 cabins of the Vercland ski lift, situated next to the La Reposette restaurant.

Here, the village of Vercland overlooks the Giffre valley and offers breathtaking views of the Criou mountain, Samoëns' iconic peak.

After a good day's skiing or snowshoeing, this is the relaxing and cosy experience you won't want to miss! Make sure you're on time for boarding at 6.50 pm at the latest.

When you arrive, the Vercland crew will give you a warm welcome and settle you comfortably into your cabin. Throws are also provided to make this experience even cosier.

ON THE MENU IN YOUR CABIN:

You are comfortably seated around this table laden with food. In front of you is a generous tasting platter:
It brings together a selection of savoury and sweet flavours for a moment of sharing. You will find an assortment of cheeses and cold meats, accompanied by crunchy fruits and vegetables. The platter is completed with dry ingredients and spreads, all arranged to create a gourmet and convivial experience.

Of course, wine, fruit juices and still water accompany this delicious experience. You will be contacted after you have made your reservation, so that you can select the wines that you want from the list available.

Have a good trip and bon Appetit!

AND WHY NOT EXTEND THE EVENING...

Night has fallen. From your cabin, you can see the lights of the villages in the valley (Morillon, Samoëns, Verchaix, etc.) and you want to continue this moment of relaxation and conviviality with your family and friends.

The platter that you have just savoured was prepared by the staff at La Reposette restaurant. So why not prolong your evening in their restaurant? The experience will be all the better for it.
