The moment you step out of your skis is often the sweetest of the day. It’s the hour of comfort, warmth, and sharing. This winter, Ferreol, a Quebec-based performance ski brand, and 1001 Fondues, pioneers of ready-to-serve fondues, are joining forces to bring the ultimate gourmet après-ski experience to life.
The Art of Après-Ski: Warmth, Authenticity, and Local Flavor
In Nordic countries, après-ski is more than a tradition — it’s a true cultural ritual. From the slopes of Massif du Sud to the mountains of Charlevoix, and all the way to Revelstoke or Banff, every skier has their go-to routine: gathering with friends or family around a hot meal and soaking in the cozy comfort of the chalet.
Ferreol and 1001 Fondues celebrate this mountain spirit with products proudly made in Quebec, blending authenticity, conviviality, and a shared love for the outdoors.
A Ready-to-Share Fondue After a Day on the Slopes
Fondue is the very essence of après-ski. The creations from 1001 Fondues, made with local cheeses and spirits, heat up easily and can even be brought with you into the mountains. Convenient, delicious, and perfect for long winter evenings, they transform any meal into a true alpine feast.
Enjoy it at the resort or back at the chalet
Heat your fondue in a small portable pot or a fondue thermos at the chalet. Add roasted potatoes, local charcuteries, and grilled root vegetables — and let the magic happen. It’s the perfect pairing between on-snow performance and post-ski indulgence.
Muy Caliente!
For a touch of sunshine in your snowy evenings, try the Tex-Mex fondue from 1001 Fondues: an easy, fun, and colourful recipe that blends alpine tradition with Mexican flair. Dip your favourite sides into it — potatoes, sausage, nachos, veggies — and let yourself be carried away by this explosion of flavour.
It’s the perfect dish to share after a day of skiing, touring, or simply enjoying winter.
Après-Ski Express: The Ultimate Mac & Cheese
After a full day carving down the mountain or exploring snowy trails, nothing beats returning to the warmth of the chalet for a quick, comforting meal.
Kids hungry? Try the Fondue Mac & Cheese, 1001 Fondues style, inspired by their Mac and Chic! recipe.
This ultra-creamy, ultra-satisfying après-ski dish combines al dente pasta with melted fondue for guaranteed wow factor. Enjoy it by the fire, paired with a warm winter vegetable salad or a slice of toasted country bread. A true favourite for families and comfort-food lovers.
The Perfect Playlist for a Cozy Après-Ski
What’s a good après-ski meal without the right atmosphere?
1001 Fondues has created an Après-Ski Playlist — eclectic, multi-genre, and festive — perfect for every moment of your winter dinner: acoustic tracks for the aperitif, folk rhythms for the meal, and a few upbeat classics for the late-night laughs.
Add a crackling fire, some mulled wine or homemade hot chocolate… and savour the moment.
