1926: Georges Ravanel cut ice from the glacier to sell to local hotels and restaurants. Then he built small wooden chalet at the snout of the glacier. It became an infamous watering hole for thirsty hikers. Its accessed on the right near the bottom of the Pierre-a-Ric home run (or on foot up an access road from the bottom of the Grands Montets).
The restaurant has been run by the same family ever since.
Located in the middle of the Argentière forest just above the Marmottons, La Crémerie du Glacier welcomes you with its Savoyard specialties throughout the year for lunch and dinner.
Claudy Ravanel and his Moroccan chef reveals with great pleasure their famous farçon, a family recipe.
Open in summer and winter, this charming restaurant serves all the traditional Savoyard dishes including farçon, fondues, omelettes, gratins and croutes.
