A private chef for the chalet, from the Riviera to the snow.
Summer on the Riviera, winter in the mountains: for chalet stays in Courchevel, Megève, St. Moritz or Gstaad, Mathias travels with the same way of cooking.
A ski chalet has its own rhythm: an early breakfast before the first lift, lunch on the terrace, tea and cake when everyone comes back from the slopes, and a proper dinner by the fire. A private chef keeps that rhythm going, so nobody has to plan a meal or find a table in a full resort.
For families who spend the summer on the Riviera and the winter in the Alps, it can be the same chef in both houses: tastes, allergies and the children’s preferences already known, menus that never repeat across the week, and a kitchen left spotless each night.
What I bring to the chalet
Full board in the chalet
Breakfast, lunch, après-ski and dinner across the stay, planned around the slopes and the guests.
The alpine larder
Mountain cheeses, lake fish, game in season and produce from the valley, ordered ahead so the chalet is never short.
Dinners by the fire
Seated dinners for the whole house, from a refined tasting menu to a generous table to share after a day outside.

Local, in season
In Savoie, the larder means Beaufort and Reblochon, lake fish such as féra and omble chevalier, and wines from Savoie and the Valais; in the Engadine and around Gstaad, Swiss mountain produce and wines. Provisioning is planned before arrival, as resort shops are small and busy in high season.
You deal with Mathias directly — one conversation, and the menu, the market and the service are quietly taken care of.
Questions about a chalet chef in the Alps
Can I hire a private chef for a chalet in Courchevel?
Yes. Mathias travels from the French Riviera for chalet stays in Courchevel and the Trois Vallées, as well as Val d’Isère and Megève, from a week to the whole season. Send the dates, the chalet and the number of guests: he replies within 24 hours.
Do you also cook in St. Moritz, Gstaad and Verbier?
Yes. Swiss resorts such as St. Moritz, Gstaad and Verbier are covered on request, with travel arrangements set out in the proposal before anything is confirmed. Travelling private chef
Can it be the same chef for our Riviera villa in summer and our chalet in winter?
That is the idea: one chef who already knows your tastes, allergies and routines. Mathias cooks on the Riviera in summer and travels on request to your chalet in winter. Villa chef on the French Riviera
