At the top of La Flégère gondola, a restaurant open every winter, facing Les Drus and the massif. Closed in summer: worth knowing before you go up.

The verdict

L'Adret is the restaurant at the top of La Flégère gondola, facing Les Drus and the Mont Blanc massif. It belongs to the Maison des Drus, like La Bergerie de Planpraz and Le 3842.

Its Google rating of 3.4 from about 300 reviews is the lowest of our restaurants: the view convinces more than the food.

On the menu

Savoyard and French mountain cooking. The restaurant does not open in summer: it comes back every winter.

Our advice

Choose it for its location, with no detour, when you are skiing at La Flégère. For a better meal in the area, the Refuge de la Flégère is a few steps away.
