Apres-ski in Les Menuires

Unlike its high-energy neighbours (Val Thorens and Méribel, we’re looking at you!), a night out in Les Menuires is a little less table-stomping and more low-key après beers after an exhausting day skiing – although you can still find a couple of brilliant nightclubs that will keep you partying into the early hours. Still, it has loads of bars and restaurants where you can watch sports, refuel and reminisce over the day’s events with mates. If that sounds like your kind of night out, here are a few Les Menuires après ski highlights:

If you’re planning a ski holiday to Les Menuires, it would be almost criminal not to mention La Folie Douce – aka the world’s highest dancefloor at an incredible 2,600m elevation! Technically it’s located in Val Thorens, but its position right on the slopes means it’s easy to reach from Les Menuires. Stop by mid-afternoon and you can expect legendary live DJs, tabletop dancing, perpetual champagne showers, cold beers, saxophonists and signature shots. But be sure to keep an eye on the time so you don’t miss last lifts!
If you fancy partying into the early hours, Le Leeberty is your late-night option. Located in Les Bruyères, it’s open every day from 5pm till 5am serving up an eclectic mix of live music, happy hour deals and accompanying refreshments – basically everything you need after a full day on the hill.
Le Tilbury is a warm and welcoming traditional French pub in La Croisette where you can unwind with locals and visitors alike after an energetic day on the slopes. We also think it plays home to some of the best pastries and sweet treats on offer in the Three Valleys!
