Sherpa Lavachet - Tignes
French mountain supermarket

Sherpa mini supermarkets can be found in most French ski resorts. They have a larger range of dairy-free items than you would find in a similar shop in the UK, and tend to have good quality fruit and veg and even organic produce as well. There will be a great range of dried fruit and nuts, as well as peanut butter, perfect for munchies on the slopes. You also find handy items such as tissues, stationary, postcards and stamps, as well as basic household products.
The only thing you have to bring from home as a vegan is margarine, as all theirs contain dairy.
Many Sherpa supermarkets have on-line ordering and free home delivery - just check on their website. It helps to know a bit of French.

This
Sherpa in Tignes Le Lavachet is one of my favourites, stocking
dairy-free yogurts, milk, cream, chocolate dessert and custard (vanilla
dessert), as well as sorbet, tofu (long-life non-chilled
type) and even nutritional yeast flakes! Look out for the Gaylord
box next to the soya milks. These flakes are perfect for giving
extra to almost any savoury dish or creamy dairy-free sauce.
Check out the Veggie Snow window sticker they proudly display by the door.
