Memorable culinary experiences

With the sumptuous, pristine mountains of the Mercantour as a backdrop, Les Chefs au Sommet d’Auron is a gastronomic event in Auron, Saint Etienne de Tinée and St Dalmas Le Selvage. From 18th to 24th January 2020, the Mountain Gastronomy Festival – 9th edition – offers gastronomic meals at the unique and privileged price of 45€ in the resort’s restaurants, with numerous culinary events and show cooking by chefs at the ice rink during 5 to 7 gourmet get-togethers.
