A life shaped by flavor
Born and raised in Maine-et-Loire, a region world-renowned for its wines and gastronomy, my love for cooking was born in my grandparents’ kitchen and nurtured by my parents, who taught me the value of great products and the beauty of seasonal ingredients. Visiting the fresh market together became a family ritual—and remains one of my favorite traditions today.
At twelve, a chef in a small Michelin-starred restaurant in Angers noticed my curiosity and set me on my culinary path. After training at gastronomy school in France, I refined my craft in the five-star hotels of Savoie—in Megève, Évian, and Courchevel—where, from a young age, I built my foundation in Michelin-star kitchens. My journey then led me to Corsica, where I embraced the Mediterranean spirit and learned a wild, straightforward cuisine deeply connected to the island’s exceptional products.
Seven creative years in Amsterdam followed, where I explored international cuisines and discovered a new approach to the kitchen. In the first years in Amsterdam, I had the honor of joining the opening team of Alain Caron’s largest restaurant, eventually taking on leadership and organizational roles that shaped my identity as a chef. From TV events to food festivals and culinary competitions, those years were filled with creation, discovery, and life-lasting memories.
After this, I wanted to continue learning and evolving, so I worked with chefs and restaurants inspired by Asian, Nikkei, and Scandinavian influences—elements that today infuse my cooking. My cuisine blends the elegance and finesse of French tradition with a modern, international sensibility.
Amsterdam is also where I met Silvia—and where everything I loved about food, wine, and hospitality found its perfect harmony.
Expertly paired with wine by Sommelier Silvia
Alongside Chef Axel’s cuisine, your chalet host Silvia brings a decade of sommelier expertise, ensuring that each dish is paired with wines selected for personality and harmony. Together, they create a culinary journey that celebrates both food and wine in equal measure.
At Cinq Petits Pas, dining is about savouring moments — from laughter around a long table to quiet evenings with a glass of wine by the fire. This is mountain hospitality at its best: warm, generous, and full of flavour.
A life in wine and hospitality
It was in Turin, while I was studying philosophy at university, that I first began working in restaurants—and soon realized that this was more than a student job; it was a calling. I decided to build a career in hospitality, drawn to the connection between people, place, and experience.
Born in Piedmont, among the vineyards that breathe life into Italian wine, and with roots deeply grounded in Sardinia’s sunlit traditions, my path has always been guided by a love of heritage, craftsmanship, and the stories behind every bottle.
My true passion for wine emerged when I met a mentor—the former sommelier of Alain Ducasse—who recognized my natural connection with it. Under his guidance, I earned my sommelier diploma, immersing myself in the soul of Italy’s vineyards and the world’s most storied wines.
For over a decade, I refined my expertise in the Netherlands, from my role as second sommelier at De Librije—the legendary three-Michelin-star restaurant where Jonnie Boer redefined Dutch gastronomy—to leading operations at Stadshaven Brouwerij, one of the country’s largest craft breweries. Working alongside innovators such as Andrea Possa founder of Bierfabriek in Amsterdam, I learned that true hospitality goes far beyond service—it’s about creating meaningful, memorable moments where every detail matters.
I believe in honest food and wine as expressions of culture and tradition, shaped by the hands of artisans and farmers. I stand by the slow food movement, sustainability, and the idea that every shared table can tell a story, build connections, and bring joy. For me, every bottle opened and every dish served is an act of love—a celebration of heritage, beauty, and the pleasure of making people happy.

"We have 5 children ranging from 4 to 24 years old! We wanted to build a Chalet that accommodated everyone's needs, giving everyone their own space whilst still being wonderfully inviting and having large living areas for everyone to get together to create special memories."
Nina and Angus
The Owners
"What an amazing stay. Such a beautiful chalet, very private and in a great location. We visited out of season but if you went in season, it's a stones throw from the nearest lift. Hospitality was awesome, so well looked after, every dining experience, was just that, a real experience. Great food. The host was super responsive and on hand to answer any questions. We will certainly be visiting again."

Located right next to the piste and close to the ski lift, it offers perfect convenience.
