His Michelin pedigree includes Head Chef in a number of one and two Michelin-star restaurants including Quattro Passi in London and a stint as a personal chef on luxury yachts.
Every Chalet Peak guest can choose their own bespoke menu for their stay and so Alfonso’s creations vary week by week; his Tiramisu however has been a favourite of countless guests, along with his Aubergine Parmigiana and Taglione with Prawns and White Truffle. The quality of his food can be confirmed by the staff at Chalet Peak, who end the winter many kilograms heavier than when they started!
