The story
High above Courchevel 1850, within the wood-and-stone luxury of Le K2 Palace, L'Altiplano offers a dining experience that travels from the Himalayas to the Andes. The hotel itself, inspired by the peaks of the Himalaya, brings together discreet luxury and authentic mountain hospitality. Among its several restaurants, this one is dedicated to Peruvian-inspired cuisine.
The restaurant’s name, L'Altiplano, evokes the high plains of Peru, and the menu interprets that landscape through the lens of French technique and Alpine ingredients. While the full menu is not detailed in the source material, the restaurant has earned a Michelin Recommended distinction, signalling a place that delivers consistent, high-quality cooking.
The setting is intimate and elegant, reflecting the K2 Palace’s design—large volumes, warm wood, and views of the surrounding mountains. The atmosphere is one of understated luxury, where the focus is on the food and the moment. The sommelier team, led by Pierrick Fischer, carefully selects pairings to complement the bold, aromatic flavours typical of Peruvian cuisine.
Whether you are staying at the hotel or visiting for an evening, L'Altiplano offers a rare chance to taste Peruvian-inspired dishes in one of the world’s most prestigious ski destinations. The Michelin nod confirms that this is a table worth seeking out, even if you are not a guest at the palace.
