Fondue Village: Fall & Winter Experiences
Now in its 3rd year, Fondue Village opened to coverage from Food & Wine, Departures and Forbes magazines—plus millions of impressions on social media. This luxuriously cozy private dining venue offers a satisfying three-course lunch and dinner menu of Alpine delicacies served alongside vintage selections of Veuve Clicquot champagnes.
This year we’re thrilled to introduce a cozy fall harvest menu, October 2 through late November, with our winter aprés ski menu offered November 27th through March 31, 2021.
Each vintage ski gondola has been impressively restored, outfitted with warm woods, fine Alpine textiles, chandeliers and imported Swiss and Austrian glassware and china. Add a private server and Swiss chocolates for the road, a lunch or dinner in one of the gondolas of the Fondue Village is an unforgettable experience for a romantic dinner for two or a warm gathering of friends.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
About Veuve Clicquot champagne: Since its foundation in 1772, Veuve Clicquot has remained true to its motto: “only one quality, the finest.” Its history carries the mark of an exceptional woman: Madame Clicquot. This young widow of 27 years old was left devastated by the untimely death of her husband, but courageously took up the helm of the family business. She was uncompromising on quality, and set off to conquer the world, transmitting her taste for excellence and innovation to her successors.
The entire history of the House of Veuve Clicquot is marked by mythical wines, all of which respect the demand for quality that was the force that drove Madame Clicquot. True to this heritage, a short lineage of just 10 Cellar Masters has ensured continuity of the Veuve Clicquot style: strength and complexity.
