36 To Board the Sky Diner

J2SkiNews posted Feb-2015



Les Arcs, La Plagne and Peisey-Vallandry which together make up the huge Paradiski area in France are getting excited about their Sky Diner event set to take place tomorrow, February 12th, in the recently 'made over' cabins of the famous Vanoise Express double decker cable car.

This unique experience will see 36 holidaymakers be randomly selected, to share a feast of French cuisine in one of the two cabins of the cable car, suspended 380 vertical metres above the ground between the stations of Arcs/Peisey-Vallandry and la Plagne in Savoie, with the meals set to feature a "Cuisine de Montagne" with a modern twist.

The fine weather of the past week that has brought brilliant ski conditions to the French Alps is set to continue tomorrow night.

Chef for the evening is Stéphane Froidevaux, the Michelin starred chef of Le Fantin Latour in Grenoble who will create an imaginative menu for the occasion. Together with his sous chef they will rise to the challenge working in a 3x3m pop-up kitchen at the end of each cabin.

The dinner guests will comprise people spending their holidays in Paradiski whose names have been selected at random. They will board the two Vanoise Express cabins – which will be styled like glamorous restaurants - at 8pm for an unforgettable hour-and-a-half voyage between the two stations above the Ponthurin Valley.

The 36 participants don't know who they are yet but come tomorrow they will, if they wish, find themselves part of this unique experience in the skies above Paradiski

Well spotted! An extra zero in there... I've fixed that while our News Editor is off enjoying himself up some mountain somewhere... hopefully with the right number of zeroes in his altitude! 8)
