Nestled at 3032 meters of altitude on the Grande Motte glacier, the restaurant Le Panoramic Tignes embodies the perfect blend of gastronomy, conviviality and breathtaking scenery. A true emblem of the Tignes – Val d’Isère ski area, this establishment by Maison Bouvier is far more than just a restaurant: it is a full sensory experience, where culinary artistry meets mountain majesty.

Whether you are an experienced skier, a visitor seeking new sensations or a curious epicurean, Le Panoramic captivates with its generous cuisine, its 360° panoramic views, and its warm atmosphere that makes you forget the icy air of the high peaks.

History and identity of Le Panoramic

The Bouvier family and its expertise

Since opening in 2011, Le Panoramic has been run by the Bouvier family, a key figure in mountain hospitality and gastronomy. Their philosophy? Combining authenticity with culinary excellence, by showcasing high-quality products and traditional know-how.

👉 Le Panoramic is not just another restaurant: it is an iconic destination, a must-visit for lovers of the mountains and fine dining.

The location atop the Grande Motte glacier

Situated at the heart of the Grande Motte glacier, Le Panoramic enjoys a truly unique location. Accessible both by ski and by cable car for pedestrians, it has become an essential stop during any day in Tignes. This strategic position allows guests to enjoy refined cuisine between two runs or during a high-altitude stroll.

An exceptional setting

Majestic 360° panorama

From the Panoramic terrace, the view is simply breathtaking. Mont Blanc, the surrounding massifs and the eternal snows create a natural backdrop that transforms every meal into a memorable experience. Few places in the world offer such a perfect blend of visual and gastronomic pleasure.

Easy access for skiers and pedestrians

Unlike many altitude restaurants reserved for skiers, Le Panoramic welcomes everyone. Pedestrians can reach the site via the Perce-Neige funicular and the Grande Motte cable car. This major advantage makes it accessible to families, mountain enthusiasts and even casual visitors.

The different spaces of Le Panoramic

The gastronomic restaurant La Table du Panoramic

The beating heart of the establishment, La Table du Panoramic is a gastronomic restaurant where elegance meets conviviality.

Wood-fired cuisine and exceptional products

The chef elevates raw products through wood-fired cooking, a rare feat at such altitude. Meats, fish and seasonal vegetables are prepared with precision, enhancing their natural flavors.

Dessert buffet and homemade fresh pasta

Another signature highlight: a spectacular dessert buffet along with fresh homemade pasta, prepared in front of the guests. A nod to Italian traditions that warms the heart after a cold day in the mountains.

The casual canteen

For those who prefer a quicker, more relaxed experience, the Panoramic canteen offers generous, flavorful dishes in a lively atmosphere.

The snack bar & sunny terrace

For an express break, the Panoramic snack bar allows guests to enjoy a treat or savor a hot chocolate while admiring the view from the sunny terrace.

Culinary philosophy

A raw and indulgent cuisine

Le Panoramic champions a simple, raw and authentic cuisine that highlights the original taste of each product. No unnecessary frills: every plate celebrates the ingredient itself, enhanced by masterful cooking.
