The story

Au 1465 – Michelin-Starred French-Italian Dining in Champex-Lac, Martigny-Ville

At 1465 meters above sea level, overlooking the alpine lake of Champex-Lac, Au 1465 is the restaurant of Au Club Alpin, a hotel and spa that embodies the spirit of the mountains. The name itself is a tribute to the altitude, and the dining room rewards guests with a panoramic view of the lake and surrounding peaks—a setting as refined as the food on the plate.

The kitchen is guided by a philosophy of authenticity and elegance, rooted in the values of the Club Alpin: local, seasonal, and sustainable. The menu highlights Swiss terroir, with produce sourced from organic farms and regional suppliers. This commitment to place and quality has earned the restaurant a Michelin star, as well as a 17/20 rating from Gault&Millau, placing it among the top tables in the Valais.

The cuisine, anchored in French and Italian traditions, is described by the restaurant as both authentic and refined. Dishes evolve with the seasons, drawing on the natural larder of the Alps—mountain herbs, lake fish, and alpine cheeses—prepared with technical precision and a respect for simplicity. The wine list is equally considered, offering selections that complement the mountain setting.

Dining at Au 1465 is an experience shaped by its environment: the quiet elegance of the room, the view of the lake through large windows, and the warm, unhurried service. It is a place where the alpine landscape and the plate meet, without pretense, but with the quiet confidence of a kitchen that knows its craft.
