Fondée en 1960 par Armand Blanc, La Chaumière est une institution familiale qui a su s’imposer comme un pilier de la gastronomie à Verbier. Depuis plus de 60 ans, cette entreprise a évolué avec la station, tout en restant fidèle à ses valeurs de qualité et de convivialité. Aujourd’hui dirigée par Philippe Blanc, accompagné de son fils Léo, ce commerce local continue de séduire les amateurs de produits d’exception, avec un engagement constant envers la tradition et l’excellence. Nous avons rencontré Philippe et Léo Blanc pour évoquer l’histoire de cette entreprise, son développement et ses projets futurs.

Mélanie grew up in Verbier within a local family. Her entrepreneurial spirit is likely a family legacy. Her par-ents, who are farmers, run the renowned « Ferme du Soleil », a farm that combines agritourism with local products and animals. Her aunt, Léonie Burtin, was the founder and previous owner of Igloo. Over the years, this boutique has become a familiar name in the resort, known for its well selected brands, high-quality products, and warm welcome. Having taken over the shop a few years ago, Mélanie and her team bring enthusiasm and knowledgable advice to parents looking for quality outfits for their children, irre-spective of the season.

Nous sommes ravies de vous faire découvrir notre tout dernier magazine, mettant l’accent sur le patrimoine de Verbier et celles et ceux qui le font vivre.

Much more than just an estate agency, VFP Immobilier SA, which has been based in the heart of the resort of Verbier for almost 40 years, brings together all the professions closely or remotely linked to property, to offer a range of professional and personalised services to owners and tenants.

For this third edition of our magazine, we reaffirm our pleasure in discussing our region, its challenges, and the personalities that compose it ; each with their own story, their unique touch in an environment that is equal. This time, the theme of our front page is the word “present”, which opens up a universe of diverse and real interpretations. Present for “now”, which will allow us to prepare the future optimally. Firstly, with appreciation to the destination for presenting its vision for the coming years with its tourism masterplan, and then through legendary establishments that have found the next generation, such as L’Écurie and these local companies that take care of the future generation, including the Moulins’ nursery and Les Elfes. Present also means “gift” in English, for our region, with its enviable lifestyle.

L’Écurie has had a new owner since November 2022. At 35 years old, Damien Gillet decided to take over the management of one of the most prestigious restaurants in the region. With specialised hotel training in the bar and sommelier industry in France, Damien has worked in several well-known French palaces. Then, he moved to Verbier to join the team at the Chalet d’Adrien. This 13-year professional experience allowed him to build an excellent local network and learn about local products. After one year, the restaurant’s success is ­evident. Interview.
