As the holiday season approaches, Four Seasons Hotel Megève Executive Chef Jonathan Chapuy has created a 2024 Christmas log that pays homage to the rich heritage of this charming Alpine village. The “Télécabine de Rochebrune” log is a gluten-free creation that combines local flavors with innovative culinary techniques.
Inspired by Megève’s iconic Rochebrune cable car, this festive dessert captures the essence of winter in the mountains. The log’s intricate design and flavors offer a gourmet escape for those who appreciate both tradition and creativity in their holiday sweets.
At the base of this edible work of art is a caramelized blond chocolate bar concealing a velvety Noix de Savoie praline. This foundation supports layers of carefully orchestrated textures and flavors. Crunchy Savoy walnuts from the Clos des Franquettes provide a satisfying bite, complemented by a rich walnut cream that envelops the palate.

At the heart of the log is a light vanilla mousse that blends Tahaa and Bourbon vanillas for an exotic floral note. A refreshing yuzu-infused vanilla jelly adds a touch of acidity to balance the overall sweetness and enhance each bite.
The attention to detail in recreating the Rochebrune cable car makes this dessert a true centerpiece for holiday gatherings. Its gluten-free composition ensures that all guests can enjoy this festive treat.
The “Télécabine de Rochebrune” Christmas log will be available at the Four Seasons Hotel Megève from December 20 to 31. Priced at EUR 149, this log serves 8 to 10 people and must be ordered 48 hours in advance by calling +33 (0)4 50 211 211.
