The story
At Laghetto, the restaurant of the Alpine Hotel in Brusson, the day’s light filters through large windows overlooking the lake, touching the spruce boiserie and ancient beams. This is a place where a meal becomes a slow ritual, and the flavours of the mountains meet the warmth of the Charles family. The scent of wood and the aromas from the kitchen create an atmosphere that wraps around you — intimate and authentic. The restaurant is open to outside guests as well.
The kitchen’s philosophy is built on three words: choice, seasonality, respect. The team works with local producers to preserve the soul of Valdostan cooking through gentle techniques and clean flavours. The result is a living tradition: dishes that feel familiar, yet are elevated by light surprises. Expect polenta concia, carbonade, hearty zuppe d’antan, and homemade gnocchi — genuine and contemporary preparations that speak of alpine pastures, woods, and family tables.
This commitment to honest, quality Italian cuisine earned Laghetto a Michelin Bib Gourmand award, a recognition the team wears as both pride and responsibility. For the guide, it signals good quality, good value cooking — a confirmation of daily, consistent work.
The Vineria del Laghetto offers a journey through Italian valleys and hills, from local Valdostan labels to historic cellar wines. Each bottle carries a story of hands and landscapes, ready to pair with the dishes. The restaurant also welcomes guests with intolerances or allergies, offering special menus on request, though they cannot guarantee total absence of contamination. Dogs are welcome too.
