A feast for champions

Fairmont Tremblant hosts the Coupe du Monde Giant Slalom

This December, the Fairmont Tremblant welcomes elite athletes from around the globe as it hosts the prestigious Women’s Giant Slalom World Cup for the second time. The hotel will not only serve as an opulent refuge for the competitors but also a culinary haven, thanks to the innovative leadership of executive chef Romain Texier.

Chef Texier has curated a menu as creative as it is health-focused, delivering essential macros that fuel peak performance, but never sacrificing flavour. Meals are served buffet- style, allowing athletes to tailor their dining experience to their individual needs, with thoughtful options to cater to any dietary restrictions. An emphasis on local ingredients, such as honey from Le Petit Rucher du Nord and boreal spice blends from le Gourmet Sauvage, adds a regional touch.

In a fascinating blend of cultures, Chef Texier leads a kitchen team from Mexico, Morocco, France, Quebec, and Venezuela. This diversity not only drives creativity but also enriches the flavour profiles of each dish. With heavy ingredients kept to a minimum, spices take centre stage, offering athletes a vibrant palette of tastes.

The Fairmont will also provide a 24/7 lounge stocked with homemade protein bars, healthy snacks, and beverages, ensuring that everyone is fueled and ready for the duration of the event.

While the athletes prepare for the competition, the Fairmont Tremblant offers them a stunning backdrop decked out in festive holiday decorations. The hotel’s lounge and spectacular new après-ski patio provide breathtaking views of the slopes and a winterized pool area includes hot and cold plunge water circuits for ultimate relaxation and recovery.

When the stakes are this high and every detail counts, everyone at the hotel is stepping up their game to support their champion guests with luxurious accommodations and creative top- tier nutrition. The Fairmont team is proud to be at the heart of this international event, further establishing itself as a world-class, year-round destination for elite athletes and visitors alike.
