Verbier Apres ski scene needs little introduction; rightly so; it is one the most famous resorts in the world.
A vast choice of apres ski spots, starting in the early afternoon at Le Mouton Noir, before opting to either take skiers left to Bar 1936 or skiers right down the Le Rouge piste, where ski-in sun-drenched terraces await to enjoy a chilled glass of rose during golden hour. The fun continues into the night with cool, flashy cocktail bars and clubs. Whether you’re looking for Apres chic or Apres Ski, Verbier has something for everyone.
Our Head of UK Guest Relations, Dougie, shares his top 5 Apres Ski recommendations and what you can expect as a Ski Verbier Exclusive guest….
1. Le Farinet Apres
One of the best known Apres Ski venues in the Alps, Le Farinet Apres, is just off Place Centrale and features a retractable roof. With live music and different house bands every week of the season and some returning year after year, this is the place to be in Verbier once the lifts are closed – some of our guests even book their week based on when a particular band is playing! Watch out for the roof opening when the party heats up!
2. Le Rouge
Another venue that builds on the lunchtime buzz, Le Rouge is a great destination to head for at the end of the ‘alternate’ home run to Brunet, just above the main town centre. You can ski in for lunch or at the end of the ski day and enjoy the views from the sun terrace while partying in style – there’s always a DJ there playing, and if you’re looking for a more ‘Ibiza at altitude’ vibe, then Le Rouge is the place to be!
3. Le Mouton Noir
The largest terrace bar in Verbier belongs to Le Mouton Noir, on the piste at the top of the Medran lift with panoramic views towards Mont Blanc in the South. A popular lunch destination for skiers and non-skiers due to its easy lift access (both to and from) and great views, the terrace evolves as the afternoon goes on, changing from a dining area into full party mode. Apres Ski venue with DJ sets and Instagram views.
4. Bar 1936
The last stop on the way back to Verbier at the end of your day skiing, Bar 1936, is at the last fork in the pistes. If you’re not quite ready to put your skis or snowboard away for the day, ‘1936’ is a place to enjoy the sun going behind the trees, with live music and views across the snow-covered golf course, over Verbier and to the West.
5. Place Blanche
Perfect to look forward to at the ‘home run’ finish line, Place Blanche, ‘the white square’ just outside Mountain Air and the W Hotel. It is the ideal place to grab a quick drink while you wait for your Ski Verbier Exclusive driver if you’ve made it down the mountain sooner than expected or if someone in the group would like to do just one more lap of the Medran.
There is, of course …
The much more indulgent option of in-chalet Apres. In our catered chalets, you can enjoy endless champagne and cocktails, sit back, and relax in the hot tub, listening to your favourite music playing through the chalet speakers. You could also treat yourself to a post-ski massage to ease the aches and pains of a day on the slopes or just sit back and relax on one of our sun-drenched south-facing terraces.
