Nightlife in Courchevel

With a lively and vibrant après-ski scene, Courchevel has plenty of spots opening their doors to welcome you off the pistes.

La Tania
Ski Lodge has a great south facing terrace and an extensive drinks menu. Indoors you'll find the bar and live music where you can boogie, jump and shout/sing to your heart's content. Finish your Thursday with a final ski down to La Tania and experience the one and only Bring Your Sisters. Be warned, it’s going to get sweaty.

A small bar with big attitude, La Boulotte gets packed out very quickly for Monday, Wednesday and Friday après. And come Thursday nights, every man, his dog and seemingly half the resort piles into this small bar, raising the roof and the temperature to near boiling point. It's not uncommon to see furniture moved onto the street in order to get more people in, that's if there is no one dancing on the tables. Not unlike an Austrian après bar, this place really goes off and isn't for the fainthearted. And this is possibly the best lunch spot in 1650 for home-cooked hearty fare that won't break the bank. Also worth checking out is Fire and Ice, its sunny decked bar at Hotel Portetta is where you can sit in the sun during a warm afternoon, and if it gets a bit chilly grab a blanket and nestle under the heat lamps. Excellent vin chaud and ice shots are on offer depending on your mood. Be there during happy hour (16:30-19:00) and you’ll be in for a treat with free stone baked pizza for everyone.

One of the few places to offer a lively après in 1850, La Cantine is in the former space of the legendary Ku-de-ta, and is just as worthy of a mention. You can ski straight onto their sunny deck and then head inside for a jug or two as the afternoon disappears into evening. Later it becomes a late night drinking spot where anyone and everyone can let loose.

If you're looking for some late night fun you're in luck, there are several bars and clubs in Courchevel that stay open until the early hours of the morning.

Everybody from everywhere will be in Funky Fox come the early hours. Every Tuesday they host their usual DJ sets, and on Friday nights they showcase an array of musical talent with everything from Blues and Saxophone, to Beat Boxing and Drum and Bass. A selection of music including local bands and DJ’s keep ‘The Fox’ partying every single night. Perfectly placed in 1650, you can almost fall out of the bar onto the bus to make you way home. It's open until 02:00.

Le Praz
The only place to be as the evening grows dark and the snow starts to fall, L’Elephant is open until 02:00, so get yourself involved at the front and sing along to the live music or hide away in the comfy booths at the back.

La Tania
Ski Lodge just about manages to contain the party. Everyone, yes everyone, will be in there from the moment the skiing stops. If a big après and delicious dinner is not enough, they have live bands, DJ’s and a drinks selection to suit. You might not quite make first lifts after a night here though.

Courchevel
No late night out would be complete without a visit to La Grange nightclub. This glamorous spot has an elegant interior where you can get your groove on with sets from DJs, live performers, well known acts and even a spot of karaoke. Book a table for bottle service and get yourself on the guest list and enjoy. Another hot spot for party seekers is Les Caves de Courchevel, a glitzy club full of the fashionable set, it holds themed nights throughout the week hosted by famous DJs. Open from midnight until 05:00 throughout winter. There's a modern French bar set in the back of the La Luge Concept store, La Luge is a secret spot to enjoy a drink at all hours of the day, and night. Open until 02:00, you'll find a chilled atmosphere, sunny balcony and reasonably priced drinks, it attracts holidaymakers and locals alike.

If you're looking for a more civilised evening or have something to celebrate, there are several hotel bars in the resort that cater to wine enthusiasts, cocktail aficionados and casual drinkers alike, and many will also have live music. Some offer a little snack alongside your choice of beverages, ranging from a bowl of nibbles to an entire tapas board.

Le Praz
Cave des Lys is an adorable French wine bar set in an actual cave, with low, domed ceilings and atmospheric lighting. The seating ranges from intimate corners to high stalls, so it's perfect for romantic evenings or drinks with friends. It has an extensive wine selection at reasonable prices, you simply select your tipple from the list or from the stacks on the shelves that line the room, and make sure you sample some of their incredible nibbles and charcuterie. With super-friendly service, this local secret won't stay so for long!

Courchevel Moriond
La Cabane is nestled amidst the streets of 1650, and is an ideal hide away for an evening or just perfect to stop in for a quick drink as you stroll home after dinner. Not just a wine bar, there is also a small seafood stall that shucks oysters in the evening, making this a perfect little date spot. Don't miss out L'Equipe Bar, which has been serving locals and tourists alike since 1948. Welcoming to all, their friendly staff are happy to share their knowledge on wines, champagnes and beers. Open until 01:00, you could do worse than curling up next to the crackling fire under the wooden beams and soaking up the ambience...and a few drinks of course.

Courchevel
A true wine and tapas style bar, Le P’tit Drink has wine to suit all budgets and tasty sharing platters. A charming place with a welcoming fire but without the ‘Courchevel price’, it's perfect for a relaxing drink in a cosy atmosphere. 

Live music is not that hard to find in Courchevel. From the smallest bar to the swanky hotel lounges, there's always something on. Specific information regarding weekly line ups can be easily found by simply looking at any of the numerous information boards around resort, where each of the individual bars will post their weekly programmes and promotions.

What is ‘Après Après’ I hear you ask? Well, if you're not quite ready to go home after the normal après party then pop over to Le Bubble Bar where you can listen to more live music from 20:00 on Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Don’t stop the party!

Courchevel Village
Formerly Baroeuf, Le Caterail promises live music every Thursday from 22:00, describing itself as a Vodka bar perhaps a little tasting might be in order.

La Tania
The Ski Lodge's more sophisticated sister bar, La Taiga serves cocktails in a relaxed setting with a roaring fire. Live music plays on a Sunday night, and great food keeps this place popular with a slightly older clientele. Right at the food of the piste, the Chrome Bar does possibly the cheapest burgers in resort, and they're pretty decent too, making it a great choice for an evening meal. Drinks are reasonable and there's live music to keep everyone entertained.
