APRES-SKI IN COURCHEVEL 1850
Courchevel is known for both the quality and variety of après ski. Once the lifts have stopped churning, you will find there are plenty of bars that kick-start the evening’s entertainment. Being the most glamorous village in Courchevel means the nightlife scene here does come at a steep price.
There are a number of slope-side bars that tend to offer après ski during the afternoon, however, it’s not quite your ski boots dancing on tables atmosphere compared to other lively resorts. For that, Courchevel guests tend to head over to Meribel where they can partake in all the proper table dancing festivities that the heart could desire! In Meribel, the only place for the Courchevel crew to après ski is the Folie Douce, but let’s face it, where else do you really need?! Just be sure you don’t miss the last call from the announcers for the last lift back over on the Saulire Express – you may otherwise find yourself with a long hike up the mountain if you don’t want to get a taxi home!
Closer to home you will find ‘Le KuDeTa’ – part of the renowned nightclub ‘Le Kalico’ – is a piste side bar that really caters to the big party atmosphere scene. It’s located next to the Forum building in the centre of the resort. Expect things here to start from 4 pm onwards and enjoy the funky live bands and the vodka bar. Here you will be joined by a mixture of holidaymakers and seasonal workers as you get down and party in the snow!
