My fav would be Nachos - all the time/ baileys coffee at the mountain restaurant. The coffee may cost bit more but sometimes it's worth it....yummy

I have to say I am a mix. I enjoy a long, hot lunch, expecially if the food and service is worth the money and time spent. I will try and fit one or two of these into a week holiday, but the cost is limiting. I couldnt afford to do this every day. I usually just go for plat de jour for 10 - 15euros and a vin chaud.
Otherwise, it is lunch in the apartment or picnic for me. On a sunny day, it is lovely to stop at some beautiful spot with views and nibble on a picnic. I love french bread, baked fresh that morning, with some ham and cheese. I also take some chocolate or cake to eat, and some fruit, and a bottle of water. We tend to do this if we are travelling long distances and cannot get back to the apartment for lunch, or on sunny spring days when it is tempting to sit and bask in the sun.
On the days we spend closer to our apartment (I always try to book one close to the pistes) it makes sense to nip inside to cook a quick pasta or cheese toastie, and sit in the warm. A perfect solution on bad weather days when the links to far away areas might be closed and the weather makes me reluctant to sit on an exposed mountain.
Whichever option is chosen, lunch is always a sociable and enjoyable event.

I see lots of French mums and grandmas staying at their apartments and chalets in the mornings to prepare lunch for the family. Sometimes they go off skiing in the afternoon, sometimes not.

I have lunched pretty much all the ways suggested on this board. Most recently tends to be a meall on or more commonly and more cheaply at the base of the mountain. Childre are given a set budget between 5 and 12€ per day depending on prevailing prices with which to eat.
Always self cater in the evening and tend to have one long splugy lunch per holiday when not a lot of skiing is done afterwards.

Boys holidays it tends to be a meal - Spag Bol, chicken and chips, Tiroler Grostl plus large soft drink, €8 to €12. This will have been preceded by a good breakfast. However, most nights no evening meal other than maybe, but not usually, a hastily consumed burger. 4.30 pm is apres ski time, haven't got time to go eating. Family holidays, half board, so usually just soup and a drink.

On average about 12 Euro, but upto 17 Euro for Steak and Frites. Plus a beer.
Lunch is all part of my holiday |
Me too minus the beer. Canteen style, something simple, warm and filling like pizza, spagbol, plat du jour, chips. Efficient service, don't won't to spend too long eating lunch.

A mountain Lunch is part of experience and has to be put in context of the overall cost. However with a new perspective at parity of £ to Euro I think some resorts in France are taking the p*** and need to join the recession. I am considering the packed lunch option for Courchevel as if it is a nice day finding a perch for a picnic with a view is a pleasure. In foul weather one needs a respite. Whatever the cost I am not going to forgo Onion soup at Solaise, Val D'isere, it was worth every cent, the bottled water was a rip-off considering the tap water is excellent.

If that is the Ouillet I agree most heartily and would possibly add a quiche tartiflette and tarte!

No more than €200 per head....anything more would just be ridiculous.

Bergmeister, but I would be the one who ended up making the food every morning while everyone else was getting out of bed. I'm meant to be on holiday too. We'd never make it onto the pistes. Fortunately Serre Chevalier is not as expensive as Meribel, and I can get a lunch for the price of your cups of tea.

In quite a few places there are signs "no pic-nic even with drinks"

at the restaurant at the top of our mountain is a sign saying "consommation obligatoire sur la terasse". My son wondered if it was directed at honeymooners.

FAQ
The new(ish) restaurant at the foot of Mont du Vallon (Meribel) was charging a mere £10 for 2 cups of tea - mind you, the tea bags were those nice little cloth things....
