Big Mountain Basecamp Restaurant & Bar

Local craft beer, artisan pizzas and tasty snacks in the centre of Chamonix

Location
Chamonix

Whether you’re hungry or thirsty after a day on the mountain, Big Mountain Bar has you sorted. Settle into the relaxed bar area or soak up the sunshine from the terrace.

Right in the heart of Chamonix, Big Mountain Bar opened its doors in March 2019. It offers twenty taps of craft beer, featuring a mix of their own Big Mountain brews (including their low-alcohol Micro beer) and guest beers from some of Europe’s best craft breweries, alongside all the usual bar favourites. The menu breaks down each beer in detail, so you can browse at your leisure or ask the bar team for guidance if choosing feels impossible.

Alongside the drinks, you’ll find homemade artisan pizzas prepared with locally sourced ingredients, plus burgers, RIBS and sharing snacks.

With indoor seating for around fifty people and an outdoor terrace of similar size, the bar feels cosy without ever being cramped, and it comfortably caters for larger groups.
