Partying Hard In Morzine and Avoriaz

If après ski is an important part of your ski holiday experience then look no further. Whether your idea of après is a relaxed glass of wine on the terrace or a dance on the table in your ski boots to a live DJ or band, Morzine and Avoriaz have something for everyone.

On The Slopes

La Folie Douce - Avoriaz

If you’ve visited a popular French ski resort before, chances are you have heard of La Folie Douce. Translated as “sweet madness”, La Folie Douce Avoriaz does not disappoint. La Folie Douce is synonymous with the après-ski culture where the atmosphere is lively and upbeat, making it a VERY popular choice!

Located in central Avoriaz, right on the slopes, La Folie Douce combines delicious food, live music and DJs with vibrant performances and an unforgettable party atmosphere.

One of the standout features of La Folie Douce is its live entertainment - DJs, musicians and performers put on high-energy shows to create a festival vibe and great ambience that extends to the service with bottles of Champagne and magnums of Rosé being delivered by zipline, complete with fireworks and confetti! Give it a go! 

The food is also pretty amazing - get there for a late lunch and party hard afterwards but be prepared for a hefty bar bill!

HOW TO GET THERE

On skis, it's a short ski down from the top of the Proclou or Linderets lifts.

For pedestrians, La Folie Douce is about a 15 minute walk from the top of the Prodains lift (you can buy a foot passenger return ticket at the bottom). Go past the Changabang restaurant and you'll find a public elevator (ascenseur) in the buildings on your left. From the top of this, follow the paths up through the centre of Avoriaz and head towards the music!

Happy Hours - Ardent

As the name suggests, Happy Hours is known for its fantastic atmosphere and hours of fun. Every day from 3pm, Happy Hours hosts their après ski party with live music and DJ’s from across Europe.

Whether dancing on tables in their heated stretch tent, or throwing shapes on the stage lit dance floor, you won’t be short of a party at Happy Hours.

Victor, the owner, is super friendly and if he has space in the ski shop attached, he’ll store your ski kit overnight and you can pick it up the next day!

Definitely a bit more of a younger clientele, and very popular with local seasonaires - this place goes off the charts sometimes with good mountain vibes and awesome music. Highly recommended!

HOW TO GET THERE

Happy Hours is located at the bottom of the Ardent gondola, so you can ski down from the Linderets bowl, before catching the free shuttle bus back to central Morzine.

Non-skiers can join in the party by catching the M bus or Happy Hours bus from Morzine to Ardent.

L’Passage - Super Morzine

If you find yourself on the Super Morzine side, L’Passage is a great spot to pass by for lunch, a hot chocolate in their cosy bar or an aperol spritz.

Definitely one of our favourites and not as well known - hence a well kept secret!! The owners are local Morzinoise who know how to make you feel special and always welcome you with open arms and a big smile!

Probably one of the best views of Mont Blanc on this side of the mountain. L’Passage is also famous for the best sundowners and sunsets on the terrace with a cafe del mar vibe.

Their weekly après sessions with resident DJ or live music are brilliant! 

HOW TO GET THERE

L'Passage is super easy to get to for skiers and non-skiers alike. Skiers and snowboarders can follow the Tetras run off Zore, you'll find L'Passage on your right just above the Super Morzine Telecabine.

Pedestrians can take the Super Morzine Telecabine from the centre of town, and then it's a tiny walk from the top. Just turn left out of the station, and go round the corner. You'll see L'Passage near the Ski Nordique signs.

Le Tremplin - Pleney

Le Tremplin offers a lively après ski atmosphere with delicious food, an extensive drinks menu, DJ’s and live music on their spacious heated terrace.

Sit back, relax and watch the final skiers descend the Pleney, or dance the ski day away in front of the red telecabine DJ booth.

Le Tremplin is a popular après-ski destination, attracting skiers and snowboarders who gather to relax and socialise after a hard day on the slopes. 

It is a great setting if you have kids as they can run around the bottom of the piste and slide about to their heart's content eating crepes whilst you have a well deserved Vin Chaud, Aperol Spritz or pint!

Under new ownership for winter 2024, Le Tremplin has undergone a revamp. Re-opening in December, just in time for the lifts, Le Tremplin is promised to offer the same incredible vibes and authentic charm, but with some seriously fun upgrades. We can’t wait to check it out!

HOW TO GET THERE

The Tremplin is at the foot of the Pleney slopes - you can't miss it! Its central location makes is a great place to meet the rest of your group or family at the end of the day.

Non-skiers don't need to buy a lift pass - just walk through town towards the Pleney ticket office and you'll see the famous terrace and red DJ booth on your right hand side.

In Town

Bar Robinson

A long-standing institution in Morzine, Bar Robinson is a favourite among locals and tourists alike. With a lively atmosphere, great music and a large outdoor terrace, Bar Robinson is a great central spot for a more relaxed but still fun après ski.

Bar Robinson is often praised for its authentic French ambiance. It's a place where you can experience a genuine and unpretentious atmosphere, making it a favourite among those looking for a more traditional pub type setting where Mutzig Beer is the main drink with good chatting space!

The Mutzig Challenge… Mutzig Beer is super strong - we have seen many guests come away from Bar Robo’s having had one too many Mutzigs.

Tibetan Bar
