Mountain Gourmet Ski Experience Courmayeur Italy
20 July 2018
Join us for a Mountain Gourmet Ski Experience at Courmayeur in Italy in March 2019.We’ll be joined by Tom Kerridge who will be attending and skiing for the first time. Claude Bosi, great friend of Tom’s, will be there for the third time, preparing his signature BIBENDUM dishes in rustic mountain environments.
About this event:
Guests fly out on Thursday 14 March, in time for a relaxed evening of the best local delicacies, to meet the chefs and their teams.And the best bit is you don’t even have to ski!
The HQ is the Grand Hotel Royal & Golf, situated on the main historic pedestrian street of Courmayeur, where guests and chefs stay for the duration of the event.
During the daytime, guests can enjoy Courmayeur’s skiing domain with ski guides in select groups, dog sledding, a walk on the Mont Blanc glacier and ride on the revolutionary Skyway cable car, or simply enjoy Courmayeur’s mountain restaurants (there are more of these than pistes on the skiing domain!) and the historic village of Courmayeur.
Activities are tailored to guests’ individual requests.
Dinner on the 15th March is the gourmet tasting evening, showcasing the chefs’ UK signature dishes with a twist of the mountains and influenced by their different approaches, with canapés, 2 starters, 1 main course and one dessert.
The host venue La Chaumière, accessed via cable car and snowmobile, prepares the pasta/rice course, as is appropriate in Italy.
Guests can purchase their preferred wines from the list prepared by the venue, Claude & Tom.
Dinner on the 16th March is the rustic version of gourmet cuisine, located in the suitably rugged Rifugio Maison Vieille, with its tiny kitchen overlooked by Mont Blanc.
The chefs prepare canapés live outside the refuge, using the best local produce and this is followed by a 4-course meal of what the chefs might prepare for friends and family in a sharing style.
The party then goes on until 2am with a great DJ and the last cable car down.
