Ski holidays are for relaxing, but that can mean different things to different people. Some choose to try leisurely activities, while others hit the spa on their getaways. However, when venturing to the La Plagne area of the French Alps, there are plenty of other things to do when the sun goes down. Catering to a sophisticated yet fun crowd, the establishments dusted over La Plagne offer a great many options for a delicious cocktail, live entertainment and much more. Head straight from your catered chalet and into the buzzing nightlife of this vibrant ski town.

Catch some live music and entertainment

Those who still have energy left after skiing can dance the evening away to some great tunes at The Last One Pub. Not only do the bands play live, patrons can watch pro boarders and skiers show off their moves on giant screens inside the bar. Head there early to purchase some of the latest mountain fashions at their adjacent storefront.

Take a break from the slopes during the day and glide over to La Tourmente. With a terrace soaked in sunshine, its an ideal spot for a steaming cup of tea, coffee, or hot cocoa warmed with a little bit of winter spirit!

Heading to La Plagne during the Premiere league season might worry some travellers, but they can catch all the games in town at the Spitting Feathers Bar. Also boasting a lively happy hour, this establishment has English charm beautifully framed by the towering peaks of the French Alps and just steps from many of the catered chalet options.

Have a blast on the dance floor

There are a few choices when it comes to late-night spots with music flowing high energy. La Cosy is open all night throughout the winter and even offers a bus service that will drop you home to your catered chalet. The newest night-time hotspot, The Mouth Bar, is underground and cosy, lit with candles and featuring top DJs and comedy acts during busy season.

Enjoy activities off-season

Most people head to La Plagne when the snow is powdery and fresh. But during the spring and summer, plenty of visitors take advantage of the gorgeous scenery of the warmer months. One of the biggest draws is the Tour De France, as the route goes right through the region and gives locals an excuse to celebrate all day and all night! On Bastille Day La Plagne host a fireworks show in the evening, which can be seen for miles around.

La Plagne often updates its calendar of events throughout the year, so it is helpful to keep abreast of new information online before you book your holiday in a catered chalet.
