How we make gluten-free and lactose-free dining simple

Clear communication before you arrive

The most effective way to personalize your meals is to tell us in advance. When you book or before you travel, email or call with:

• Your dietary restriction (e.g., coeliac disease, lactose intolerance)
• The severity of your intolerance (including cross-contact sensitivity)
• Any additional foods to avoid or preferences

This helps our team plan alternatives for your stay and coordinate with the kitchen.

A home-cooked three-course dinner—adapted to you

Every evening, our chef serves a freshly prepared, three-course dinner that blends local Savoyard specialties with broader French and Mediterranean inspirations. Throughout the week, the traditional Savoyard raclette also features on the menu. If you are gluten-free or lactose-free, let us know and we will propose suitable alternatives so you can enjoy dinner with confidence.

• Daily, home-cooked three-course menu
• Savoyard classics featured during the week (e.g., raclette)
• Adaptations available for coeliac and lactose-intolerant guests on request

Breakfast buffet with thoughtful options

Mornings begin with a generous buffet featuring fresh, local products. Inform the team of your dietary needs and we’ll point you toward the most suitable choices and prepare adaptations where possible so you can start your day energized and at ease.

All Inclusive that works with your needs

For many guests with dietary intolerances, All Inclusive simplifies the entire experience by aligning meals, drinks, and snacks with your requirements:

• Outside the ski season, All Inclusive includes full board from dinner on arrival to a packed lunch on departure day, table wine and water, an open bar from 17:00–22:00 (except on departure day), plus daily snacks.
• In winter, All Inclusive packages also feature a raclette evening during the week; alternatives can be proposed for gluten-free or lactose-free guests.
• All Inclusive guests are offered a soup or sweet snack around 17:00 each day.

Our on-site bar is open daily from 17:00 to 22:00 (closed during dinner service); drinks during these hours are included for All Inclusive guests. If you’re managing an intolerance, this consistency—meals, snack time, and bar hours—simplifies planning and reduces mealtime stress.

What gluten-free and lactose-free dining typically involves

While every guest’s needs are personal, a few widely accepted principles help guide safe, satisfying meals:

• Gluten-free basics: Coeliac-safe meals avoid wheat, barley, rye, and derivatives. Many naturally gluten-free ingredients (vegetables, meats, fish, eggs, legumes, rice, potatoes) can be prepared safely when cross-contact is managed.
• Lactose-free basics: Lactose intolerance focuses on reducing or eliminating lactose in dairy. Some guests tolerate small amounts, while others avoid dairy entirely. Non-dairy alternatives and naturally lactose-free foods make it easier to maintain variety.
• Cross-contact awareness: Separate utensils, surfaces, and serving practices help limit gluten or lactose exposure for guests with higher sensitivity. Clear communication with the kitchen supports informed handling.
• Simple is powerful: Dishes based on whole, minimally processed ingredients are often the easiest to adapt while preserving flavor and nutrition.

At Chalet Du Crey, the foundation is straightforward: inform us of your needs and we will propose alternatives so you can dine comfortably.

How dietary accommodations enhance your All Inclusive experience

Pairing menu adaptations with All Inclusive can make your trip even smoother:

• One plan, all meals: Full board means fewer decisions and easier consistency when you’re gluten-free or lactose-free.
• Predictable rhythm: Breakfast buffet, afternoon snack (around 17:00), and a three-course dinner provide a reliable daily structure.
• Drinks covered: With an open bar window of 17:00–22:00 for All Inclusive guests, you can enjoy selected beverages without extra planning. Non-alcoholic options help you stay refreshed throughout your stay.
• Restaurant guidance: With a fixed rhythm and home-cooked menus, our team can guide you nightly toward the most suitable choices.

Practical tips to make your stay effortless

Use these actionable steps to feel fully prepared:

1. Share details early: Email info@chaletducrey.com with your intolerance, sensitivity level, and any special requirements.
2. Confirm at check-in: Briefly remind reception of your needs so the dining team is aligned from day one.
3. Ask nightly: Before dinner, ask which items best fit your gluten-free or lactose-free needs; alternatives can then be proposed smoothly.
4. Clarify sauces and sides: Sauces, dressings, and garnishes are where gluten or lactose can hide—ask for a quick check.
5. Plan your All Inclusive snack: With a daily soup or sweet snack around 17:00, decide what suits you best and request an alternative if needed.
6. Leverage languages: Our multilingual team (Dutch, English, French, German) helps ensure nothing is lost in translation.
7. Keep outing days simple: If you’re All Inclusive outside ski season, remember your packed lunch option on departure day—useful when you’re managing food choices on the go.
