LES TRAPPEURS

What LES TRAPPEURS does

Le Chalet des Trappeurs (operating as Les Trappeurs) is a privately held traditional Savoyard alpine restaurant established in 1979 at the Col de Tamié in Savoie, France, at an altitude of 910 meters within the UNESCO-classified Bauges Regional Nature Park. The single-location venue serves authentic regional mountain cuisine — fondue, raclette, tartiflette, diots, and other cheese-heavy specialties — prepared with local Alpine products and consumed on-premises in an authentic chalet setting. The business operates year-round from Wednesday noon through Sunday evening, plus public holidays and private event bookings, employing approximately 5 staff and serving tourists, local Savoie residents, private event organizers, corporate groups, and visiting VIPs.

The company's go-to-market is traditional and reputation-based: it relies on word-of-mouth, presence in leading French and European gastronomy guides (Gault & Millau, Le Petit Futé, Le Routard, Le Bottin Gourmand, Tables et Auberges de France), member status in the Académie des Arts de la Table, and a portfolio of international tourism and quality awards accumulated between 1992 and 2000. A guestbook cataloguing visits from politicians (Michel Barnier), athletes (Jean-Claude Killy, Prince Albert de Monaco), entertainers, and television productions (TF1, CBS, CNN) functions as a credibility asset. The venue offers a private helicopter landing area operated in partnership with Héli Secours Romet (60 years of helicopter operations), enabling VIP and corporate group access by air.

The business model centers on on-site dining revenue and private event hosting, with pricing that is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company has no disclosed technology infrastructure, digital products, or AI capabilities, and revenue is not publicly reported. Separately, the owners are actively soliciting investors for a real estate development at the same Col de Tamié site — approximately 3,000 m² of buildable land with a helicopter pad, earmarked for roughly 15 luxury mountain chalets — positioning the brand as the anchor for a future hospitality cluster rather than purely as a restaurant operator.
