There are plenty of options for people following a non-meat diet, you just need to know where to look.
With an ever-increasing percentage of the European population following vegetarian, vegan and primarily plant-based flexitarian diets, there's a consistent demand for delicious herbivorous foods.
It's surprisingly easy to follow a vegetarian diet at this end of the French Alps, with one of the main staple foods being its locally-produced cheeses. Tarentaise specialities are often cheese-based, with vegetarian versions of croziflette and tartiflette fairly common in the mountainside restaurants.
It can be slightly more complicated if you're a vegan but Les Arcs boasts Vegan Society accredited restaurants.
In terms of vegetarian food, the proliferation of cheese-based meals available on the mountain makes finding something to eat fairly straightforward.
The Alpine pièce de résistance, the Fondue, is available practically everywhere. Also, if you enjoy a pizza, you will certainly not go hungry in Les Arcs. Contrary to popular belief there are almost always vegetarian options on restaurant menus, although some have a much wider selection than others. Here are a few choices to get you started.
