Best coffee in Val d'Isère

Where to find the best coffee, cakes and treats in Val d'Isère

Take a break and recharge with a coffee and a quick bite. 

The French are not renowned for their coffee, so here are some of the delightful coffee shops of Val d’Isère so you know where to go.

Also worth considering and not traditionally a coffee shop per se, is the circle bar tent at the top of the Solaise - a great place to go for a coffee or hot chocolate stop. And if you're in town there's a cafe on the side of the Chevallot bakery which does a good coffee and their pastries are to die for.

See the rest of our edit below.
