It’s time to party like it’s an altitude of 1,999m! Whether it’s dancing to cheesy Euro-pop in a piste-side bar or raving to drum and base in the village discothèque, Inghams recommends its five most fun après ski destinations.
Val d’Isère, France
Val d’Isère is jam-packed with bars, pubs and clubs offering an eclectic choice for après ski party-goers. Some of these bars have even become icons of the international après ski scene (think the original Folie Douce)! In the town centre, guests can party at the raucous Café Face, an excellent basement bar, or the Moris Pub for live music. Late night revellers should head to Dick’s Tea Bar, another famous name in the world of après ski. Open from 11pm every night, Dick’s is the most prominent nightclub in Val d’Isère and has been providing entertainment to skiers since the 1970’s!
Inghams is offering a seven-night stay on a self-catering basis at the Les Verdets Apartments in Val d’Isère, France, from £539 per person based on four sharing an apartment. Price represents a saving of £50 per person and includes return flights from London Gatwick to Chambery and airport transfers. The package is valid for travel departing on 12th January 2019.

St Anton, Austria
St Anton is après ski heaven and the on-piste bars that grace the lower slopes into town are typically rammed from 4pm onwards. It’s believed that the internationally renowned après ski bar Mooserwirt serves 5,000 litres of beer a day! Helping to cement the Mooserwirt’s après superstar status is resident DJ Gerard, who has been spinning the decks at the bar for nearly 30 years. Other famous après bars include Krazy Kanguruh, which has been rocking it since 1965, and, back in town, Base Camp, an open terrace bar with live DJs from 3pm and a delicious menu of après ski grub.
Inghams is offering a seven-night stay on a catered basis (including buffet breakfasts, afternoon tea and cake, and evening meals with complimentary wine for six nights) at the four-star Chalet Larissa in St Anton, Austria, from £899 per person based on two sharing. Price includes return flights from London Gatwick to Innsbruck and airport transfers. The package is valid for travel departing on 5th January 2019. To book, visit www.inghams.co.uk/fab5.
Sauze d’Oulx, Italy
Sauze d’Oulx is a lively village with an après ski scene that won’t break the bank. Because of its excellent value for money – cheap beer, great skiing – Sauze has long been a popular ski holiday destination for Brits. There is a wide choice of piste-side establishments: Ghost is en route to the town from the mountain and thus the first port-of-call for many skiers at the end of the day. Après continues at Paddy McGinty’s, a good value Irish pub which often has live music and also serves reasonably priced food. More sophisticated options include Caffè della Seggiovia, a stylish Italian wine bar, and The Cotton Club, a lively jazz bar. For an evening on the town, visit Il Bandito – the largest night club in Sauze d’Oulx.
Inghams is offering a seven-night stay on a half board basis at the three-star superior Hotel Hermitage in Sauze d’Oulx, Italy, from £669 per person based on two sharing.

Meribel, France
Meribel’s on-slope après entertainment is legendary, and dancing on table-tops in ski boots starts most days from 3pm. There is a branch of the Folie Douce here, just below the Saulire mid-station, which easily captures the ambiance of its Val d’Isère cousin. Le Rond Point has a reputation for its lively atmosphere and the ski-in/ski-out terrace makes ‘Ronnies’ - as it is affectionately known - a popular pit-stop en route back to the village. Meribar, which is conveniently located at the base of the Chaudanne lift, is the perfect place for a great end-of-the-ski-day beer or two, with frequent live music and an enthusiastic, friendly bar team.
Inghams is offering a seven-night stay on a catered basis (including buffet breakfasts, afternoon tea and cake, and evening meals with complimentary wine for six nights) at the three-star superior Chalet Hotel Les Grangettes in Meribel, France, from £785 per person based on two sharing.

To book, visit www.inghams.co.uk/fab5.
Livigno, Italy
Livigno is the home of the famous Italian après ski drink – the Bombardino. The drink is made of eggnog and brandy and is served hot with whipped cream! Add to this the buzzing atmosphere in the many bars around the base of the Mottolino, Tagliede and Carosello ski lifts, plus a lively clubbing scene, and we have a cocktail recipe of enviable après ski fun! Get the party started at the Tea del Vidal, a cozy bar in an old wooden farmhouse near the Mottolino base station. The nightlife kicks off after 10pm and clubbers will welcome the great choice of discothèques and late-night bars. For live music, DJ sets and dancing to the early hours, head to Club Bivio, a cellar bar with a penchant for themed evenings. For those who like to make a grand entrance, got to Milky’s Disco Club, where they enter on a slide.
