Our Founders
A born entrepreneur, Nicolas envisioned IMA as a complete lifestyle destination where gastronomy and nightlife meet naturally. After years developing hospitality concepts, he launched IMA in Val d'Isère in 2025 with the ambition of making it an unmissable landmark in the resort — and ultimately, an international brand.
A leading figure in luxury hospitality, Laurent has opened and managed iconic venues across Saint-Tropez, Saint-Barth and Ibiza. Drawing on this expertise, he orchestrates IMA's daily operations — from front-of-house service to music programming — with the attention to detail and pursuit of excellence that define the venue's DNA.
Executive Chef
Trained in the kitchens of the Four Seasons, Elie Fischmann brings technical mastery and Levantine sensibility to IMA. His cuisine is built around sharing: generous mezze, subtle spices, precise cooking techniques and seasonal produce. Each dish tells a story, bridging Middle Eastern traditions with contemporary creativity.
Culinary Philosophy
IMA's table draws from the culinary traditions of the Levant — Lebanon, Syria, Turkey — where a meal is an act of sharing. Chef Elie Fischmann selects exceptional produce and elevates it with noble spices: za'atar, sumac, pomegranate, tahini, orange blossom. Every dish is designed to be shared, in a spirit of warmth and generosity that defines IMA's identity.
Our Vision
At IMA Val d'Isère, we believe in creating extraordinary experiences that blend the warmth of alpine hospitality with contemporary luxury. Our venue is more than just a restaurant and club—it's a destination where culinary excellence, sophisticated ambiance, and genuine hospitality converge.
We are committed to celebrating the finest ingredients and traditions of Middle Eastern cuisine, reimagined through the creative vision of our executive chef. Every detail, from the carefully curated wine selection to the thoughtfully designed interiors, reflects our dedication to excellence.
Our mission is to become the premier destination for those seeking authentic luxury experiences in the heart of the Alps, where every visit becomes a cherished memory.
