Cheese has a magical power: it creates a warm and friendly moment. In the middle of winter, it is impossible to miss raclettes, tartiflettes, fondues savoyardes and other Mont d’or. Luxembourg’s restaurant owners are well aware of this, and many of them offer ephemeral or permanent mountain atmospheres to bring mountain lovers a little closer to the summits.
Here is a non-exhaustive list of small chalets that will take your taste buds to new heights.
