La journée touche à sa fin, le soleil décline derrière les crêtes et les skis sont déchaussés.

In Méribel, après-ski is more than just a drink: it’s a moment to experience, savour and share. Music, relaxation, good food, sport or culture… there’s something for every taste. So put away your skis and let us guide you to your perfect après-ski.

Après-ski with music

It’s 3 pm. The first bass notes boom out and your ski boots are already tapping to the beat. The music swells, glasses clink and smiles spread. DJs or live music, beers, shots or cocktails: Méribel’s legendary après-ski parties shouldn’t be missed! If you are looking for the ultimate experience, head to La Folie Douce Méribel-Courchevel! They don’t do things by halves here: DJs and dancers take over the high-altitude terrace for a high-energy live show. Another must-visit spot in Méribel: Le Rond Point! Right on the edge of the slopes, the welcoming ‘Ronnie’ is the place to relive your day with a beer in hand, to the sound of live music. And for a pub atmosphere with international cuisine, head to Jacks! With its sunny terrace, unique atmosphere and creative cocktails, it’s the perfect place to get into the local scene whilst snacking on their international specialities.

Chilled après-ski

The ski lifts have stopped turning. The last rays of sunshine bathe the slopes in golden light. This is the special, relaxed moment when you unwind while still admiring the mountain peaks. After your final run, settle down on a sunny terrace or indoors in a cosy armchair, with lounge music playing in the background. Enjoy a glass of mulled wine, a spritz, or perhaps a hot chocolate or cappuccino. Conversations flow with your family or friends, and Méribel reveals its cosy, laid-back side. Here, bars and restaurants invite you to take your time and enjoy the moment. You can put the world to rights, reminisce about the day’s best run, and simply enjoy the pleasure of being together.

After a hard day on the slopes, you deserve some delicious food!

There’s nothing quite like swapping your ski boots for spa slippers and letting the warmth soothe away the aches of the day. The end of a day’s skiing is the perfect time to pamper your body and soothe your mind. Most of Méribel’s hotels spas are open to all. Saunas, steam rooms, sports massages or hot tubs… everything is designed to help you unwind. Enjoy

Cultural après-ski

Méribel is also about gaining new experiences, marvelling at the surroundings and soaking up the valley’s unique atmosphere. Plays, jazz festivals, comedy festivals, concerts…Méribel’s events calendar is filled with gems. The resort’s cosy cinema offers you the chance to catch an English- or French-language film.
