With food, live entertainment and music.

After a great day on the mountain, skiers and snowboarders flock to the Folie's terraces to enjoy some of the liveliest après ski sessions in resort and with DJ's, dancers and live entertainment, it won't be long until you're dancing on tables in your ski boots.

Luc Reversade, the owner of this famous chain, has succeeded in bring the dance floors of Ibiza, Turkey and Florida to the middle of the ski slopes. Nothing stood in the way of his dream becoming reality; all the outside bars even have specially heated-column pumps to stop the beer from freezing in sub-zero temperatures!

Not only can you dance in the open air and get a drink (or three) at the Folie, there is also a brasserie called La Fruitère and a self-service restaurant called La Petite Cuisine for something to eat.

Find everything at the top of the Marmottes lift. You'll be glad to hear the run back to resort is only an easy blue and should be manageable for most après hounds.

Open from the start of December to the end of the season from 09:00 to 16:30.
