An experience as rare as it is spectacular.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the major Alpine resorts,<a href=\"https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/en\/sleep-under-the-stars-at-2100-metres-and-live-the-craziest-winter-experience-at-oz-3300\/\"> there's no shortage of unusual experiences<\/a>. But this one takes the concept a step further. In M\u00e9ribel, a lucky few will be able to enjoy a dinner suspended in mid-air, directly aboard the Saulire Express cable cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The principle is simple but spectacular: climb to the summit of the Saulire, at an altitude of almost 2,740 metres, then enjoy a <a href=\"https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/en\/the-michelin-guide-2025-has-just-rewarded-18-restaurants-in-savoie-here-are-the-stars-to-try\/\">gourmet menu<\/a> imagined by the Michelin-starred chef <a href=\"https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/en\/where-to-eat-in-meribel-our-3-must-try-restaurants\/\">Laurent Azoulay<\/a>, while flying over the snow-covered slopes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An immersive experience that transforms a simple ski lift into a veritable panoramic restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A gastronomic dinner... in the air<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The evening begins in the Saulire lounge with an aperitif accompanied by savoury bites and a cocktail called \u00abSommet de la Saulire\u00bb. The scene is set. Magnificent views, evening light on the summits and a hushed atmosphere at an altitude of over 2,700 metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then it's time for the main experience. Guests are seated in the gondola cabins, which have been specially designed to accommodate four people. During the rotation over the ski area, dinner is served in several stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DUndX_LjOHG\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
