6 Of The Best Bars In Avoriaz

Updated June 2024

We all head to the Alps for the fun & challenge of skiing, those breathtaking mountain views, and crisp fresh air. We also understand that for many, another important part of a ski holiday is the après ski scene. There’s something rather unique about enjoying a beer or an Aperol Spritz in your ski boots and bobble hat.

We’ve listed a few of our favourite bars below, but once in resort do also ask your Avoriaz chalet host which venue has the best atmosphere, after all, they’re likely to have visited a couple of them!

1. La Folie Douce

The infamous Folie Douce finally made it to Avoriaz in 2018 and has been delighting guests ever since. Stop by for weird and wonderful circus acts set to a soundtrack of club remixes and classic apres songs.

Plan your trip to La Folie Douce:

Open from 09:00 - 18:00
Themed après-ski parties every Tuesday and Thursday
Special DJ sets every Thursday

2. Le Yeti

Le Yeti is a popular apres-ski bar with live music, where people like to go and relax on the sun terrace. It may be hard to resist just one more drink before heading back to the chalet given it's so close.

Plan your trip to Le Yeti:

Open from 09:00 - 18:00 (crepes served from 09:30 - 18:00)
Galettes (savoury pancakes), tartiflette, wraps
Located on the Avoriaz plateau opposite the ski school meeting point

3. Le Tavaillon bar

In the centre of Avoriaz, the Tavaillon is an English style pub, which attracts predominantly young British customers. You’ll enjoy a lively evening here. They often broadcast sporting events and also have a heated terrace.

5. Le Yak

This is the resort’s French club; it’s the only place that’s open after 02:00 if you fancy a late one. The drinks can be quite expensive, and it can get pretty busy, but it’s good fun.

Ready to hit the Avoriaz bars?

We often associate après ski with a drink and dancing, but Avoriaz has loads more activities on offer for those who still have energy to burn after a day on the slopes or maybe you’re looking for a relaxing massage back at the chalet?

You will be spoilt for choice of things to do on and off the slopes...
