It's France. The food is all good, though it can be quite expensive in the touristy places. Open a can of Ravioli from the supermarket and eat it with your freshly purchased Swiss Army Knife. If you've been hiking all day, it'll be the best meal you've ever had.
Other regional specialties Quand meme!
Fondue
Pierrade or Pierre chaude - a hot piece of slate on which you cook your own slices of meat at the table.
Raclette - like fondue, this is a multi-person event that involves more melted cheese, potatos and cold cuts.
Croute savoyarde - a toasted piece of bread soaked in white wine and then baked with melted cheese and possibly mushrooms or tomatos.
Tartiflette - potatos and bacon smothered with melted roblochon cheese.
Toasted goat's cheese salad with nuts.
If you find you've had a bit more cheese that you would really like, there's a very nice Japanese restaurant, Satsuki.
