7 Of The Best Bars In La Plagne

POSTED:

For many ski enthusiasts après ski is just as essential as time spent on the slopes. Whether you’re unwinding with a cold beer after a day on the slopes or dancing to live music late into the night, La Plagne has plenty to offer.

La Plagne, particularly around Plagne Centre, has a strong après-ski scene, though it's more relaxed compared to the livelier party resorts like Val d'Isère or St. Anton. The atmosphere in Plagne Centre is more casual and family-friendly than in many other French resorts. It’s centered around unwinding with friends, live music, or a quiet drink, rather than all-out partying. That said, while nightlife options are available, it’s not among the most vibrant in the Alps.

Your Chalet Host will be happy to give you their venue recommendations - they will probably be well acquainted with most of them! But to give you an idea of what’s waiting for you, we’ve rounded up some of our favourite après destinations below.
